There's also www.shorewall.net. By default it's not "clicky clicky" but I beleive there is a webmin module for it. This is good because you could not only edit the rules via Webmin, but you could also edit the rules by editing the shorewall configuration files.Perhaps I should qualify this. I agree that you need to be very competent to build a good firewall. However, GUIs can work really well for assembling them. I suppose what I'm really looking for is something like Raptor Firewall. I stumbled upon fwbuilder, which looks promising. The webmin frontend to shorewall also sounds good (though I haven't looked at it). But, I really want to tell this guy "here, install this and you can set up a bad ass firewall really easily". You can grock networks without knowing iptables syntax.But thanks for the suggestion. Actually sounds like the sort of thing I might use elsewhere.
HTH,
