I agree. > Not having a GUI is perfectly fine for me. The same for me. But, if we want to evaluate possible solutions, I am wondering if Firewall Builder: http://www.fwbuilder.org/archives/cat_about.html could be adapted to generate Shorewall configuration files. Yes, I do know that it can direclty generate iptables commands, but I think that it could be useful for novice users to have the capability to create a configuration with a GUI, and possibly fine tune it later with the config files. > I'm in the good situation that performance has never been a problem for > me.

Thank you, Tom, also from another very satisfied Shorewall user. Elio ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
