I second that recommendation. I use fwbuilder on my firewall at home. It works great. I can configure additional scripts for any other machine in my network as well. KJ

Anyone know which firewalls out there are easy to use with linux? I want to be able to not only bock ports but to do natting and patting. I have heard of firestarter for gnome and guarddog and guidedog for kde but are there any other opinions out there? Thanks in advance.

There is a really nice program called Firewall Builder. Its a little different of a concept than the ones that you mention above. But it's a very powerful firewall creation tool. Check it out ---> http://www.fwbuilder.org/

I like http://www.freesco.org/ and a blurb from their website
FREESCO (stands for FREE ciSCO) is a free replacement for commercial routers supporting up to 3 ethernet/arcnet/token_ring/arlan network cards and up to 2 modems.
Why should you use Freesco?
* Ease of use - it's insanely easy to set up
* Thoroughly documented - it's more or less self contained, read one doc and you're off and running
* Like most players in this field, it runs off one floppy
* FreeSco runs in as little as 6 Mb RAM.
* Unique Web Control Panel
Freesco is the easiest to use, one disk Linux system available
