Hi ! I'm often writing or modifying iptables-firewallscripts, but I miss a good possibility to make a graphical-documentation of these firewalls.
There is a command which allows me to dump the actual firewall-configuration to a file. (iptables-save) I thought about writing a small piece of code to create a first simple .dia-file. I'm used to program in perl, but I have also some little experience in writing c-code. Does it make sense to include such a filter to dia - or is it more easy to write this in my used language ? The diagrams should look like this: There are rules which are grouped in chains. The rules should represented as text-boxes. These textboxes should be includes in a "named" chain. Iptables supports to jump to other chains - so I have to be able to make a magnetic line from one of the rule-textboxes to an certain chain. (the magnetic line should be able to be placed on the left or on the right side of the text) Are there some functonalities for automatic creation of such kind of charts ?
