Hi,
I'd like to know if anybody already came up with the idea of building a tool to easy the configuration of netfilter/iptables rules ? Possibly 'cursed' or even 'graphical', where the latest could run in a machine not necessarily the router/fw/filter itself, but upload the configuration to the target machine. If anybody is working on it let me know. Otherwise, I'd like to know the feeling of the community about it. Obviously, the sysadms/unix gurus need it not. I am thinking of the newbies (much like me) that have incipient knowledge about iptables, but do not want to spent too much time collecting recepies in the list. If I receive a 'go for it', I'm planning to give it a shoot. So far, I am thinking to start with a python/tk script that provides a user interface and info hooks to a series of basic configuration templates/profiles. I'm all years for suggestions, if this is considered off-topic or cause too much traffic congestion in the list, then I'll set up a sourceforge page for the project. best regards, senra -- Rodrigo Senra MSc Computer Engineer (GPr Sistemas Ltda) [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.ic.unicamp.br/~921234 (LinUxer 217.243) (ICQ 114477550)
