If you're looking for something *really* easy to use, you might want to consider commercial products <sigh>... on that note I have been hearing great things about SideWinder, a product of Secure Computing. Here's an URL: http://www.securecomputing.com/index.cfm?sKey=232 "Never been cracked"? What? No really, I found some *false* alarms on bugtraq but have not heard about ANY vulnerabilities... I think they require that it runs on their own kernel/distro, but it is linux-based iirc (mebbe bsd).
