Howdy, Thinking of ipchains to iptables etc. transition, has Red Hat yet considered adding Firewall Builder to distribution instead of continuing developing firewall-config ?
The firewall-config AFAIK does not support iptables yet, so those of us needing stateful inspection are out of luck with it. Thus I would advise you to check Firewall Builder first before putting more effort on firewall-config. http://www.fwbuilder.org/ It's very nice and well implemented suite, with well thought separate XML represented backend, object oriented (GTK)GUI and rules compiler. Because of this well though idea behind and basis it's possible to get multiple platform support done easily too, not just ipchains to iptables transition but for completely different platforms. http://www.fwbuilder.org/pages/Documents/FAQ/FAQ.html All this will help a lot in upgrades, centralized management of rules, upcoming migrations etc. I'm very supprised that even though I was looking just this kind of tool some time ago I did not come across with fwbuilder, it would have saved me lot of effort just if I had known about it.
