Howdy, Thanks for you comment, I prefer KDE too, IMHO it's more complete than what GNOME currently provides, but Gnome softare project are getting better all the time.
Granted the guarddog has bit smaller footprint, but it appears to me that the little more fwbuilder demands will pay you back, if you look carefully for example http://www.fwbuilder.org/screenshots/6.html check what's in the picture under the Firewals branch, notice the fw1, guardian-* etc. I think with a little work fwbuilder could possibly support (import/export) guarddog too. The footprint is big issue on small single-media firewalls¹ ofcourse, but I don't think it's primary concern when you run fw on workstation or like. ¹) http://www.bbiagent.net/, http://www.coyotelinux.com/, http://www.shorewall.net/ or any of the like Nothing prevents actually creating a single rpm package from abovementioned (refer to one of these¹ or similar tftp loadable) which then could be configured on workstation and using the loopback driver creating the complete fw-image for the standalone fw which does not need hard disks at all. Keeping the xml-configurations in fwbuilder and when new release is available upgrade the rpm package and regenerating new ready to boot image in few seconds, with your own previously defined fw-rules :) The *BIG* thing in fwbuilder is that with that you can maintain configurations platform independently and that makes life *LOT* easier with upgrades etc. But, hey both could be included or good choices to be added to powertools first or whatever, I'm so happy that I found fwbuilder that I don't care at the moment <weheee> :> :-) riku On Tue, 11 Dec 2001, Hetz Ben-Hamo wrote: > Umm, some (redhat) people may not like it - but there is a KDE application > which just simply fits - it's VERY easy to use (even for people who barely > know what is TCP/IP), supports IP chains and IP Tables, creates very good > scripts, and a very nice GUI.
