You may want to try a tool I just found:
kmyfirewall:
et-firewall/kmyfirewall
Available versions: 0.9.6.2-r1 ~1.0-r2 ~1.0.1
Installed: 0.9.6.2-r1
Homepage: http://kmyfirewall.sourceforge.net/
Description: Graphical KDE iptables configuration tool
I just installed it, so I'm going to play around with it. In the handbook you
can use the advanced features to config a firewall
for a remote system.....
ymmv,
