Choose to use shorewall and in their site-docs (pdf including) there is a graphical example of kernel config to use with shorewall. As their's intentions are for shorewall to be mostly used for quite everything with iptables, it has IIRC quite all options turned ON under iptables. Use this for some 2,5 years (with very small changes). Think you can also check the iptables site/docs (Google too). There was some site (easyiptables/easyfirewall) with a web-page menu driven config, don't know about kernel-config (check this ML archives). HTH. Rumen
