I'll add a vote for shorewall. If you really have a need to understand the low-level details of managing iptables, then you might not want shorewall. But shorewall lets you work at a higher level of abstraction - designing zones and policies, rather that dealing with low-level details. In most software development circles, abstraction is considered A Good Thing :-). Nathan Meyers [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
