ok I have checked out firewall2 module and taken a look to the php dir.

I made some minor changes and i'm substituing all occurrences of deprecated 
$HTTP_*_VARS[] with newer $_*[] superglobals.

I'll search for the code that shold allow space-separated entries ... (do you 
already know about it ?!? ) 

IMHO the current code of the php frontend is not so robust, uses a lot of  
where ' were better, uses deprecated funtions and don't perform all the 
securiy and integrity checks it should be... may I have a CVS account and 
make these improvments ?!?

Best Reguards

 A possibly stupid question:
 what is in the firewall functionality of MNF that is different from
 Shorewall? To rephrase the question: If i read the shorewall's features,
 documentation at http://www.shorewall.net/, is there anything that MNF
 is not capable of, or works in a different way?

Hello,

MNF only uses a web interface to configure shorewall ... it does not have
all the features that shorewall has ... due to some frontend/php
limitations. You cannot use space-separated lists, for example. But you
almost have everything ... And please consider that shorewall is moving
quite often ... so it takes a little time to add the new shorewall
features in MNF.

But MNF has some other features as it's not a simple firewall (DHCP server
configurations, some graphs, caching name server, squid proxy server with
url/content filtering ... and other features)

have a nice day,

Re: [Cooker-firewall] Shorewall setup

 Hello,
 
 Concerning the default config of shorewall, I suggest that the default
 rule for wan-all is set to DROP rather than REJECT. I think it's better
 in term of security (ref. Linux firewalls by R.L. Ziegler).

I know that ... this could be done indeed ... The standard sonfiguration
is not the most secure one ... nut one has the possibility to restrict
even more the firewall policies, rules.

 In the same spirit, for boxes connected by ADSL or dial-up (and perhaps ISDN but I 
don't know), I suggest that the interface defined for wan is set up to ppp+. By 
experience, I've started by using eth1 (where is connected by ADSL modem) and spent 
some time to find why my connection was not working.

it's in the online docs though ... but this could be also feasable.

thx for your thoughts,

have a nice day,

I think the default configuration for a FW should be the most secure !!
We are not talking about a distro for desktop, it must be secure by default !
