I'm coming into the thread a little late, but what is it that you're attempting to do. I've been using Bastille-firewall very successfully for a long time with absolutely no trouble at all. I do know that Bastille-firewall is a very good intermediate-user-level program to get the basic firewall started and running. After that point though the user should have, at least, a working understanding of Iptables and rulesets to fine tune the firewall on the machine and/or network. of course the more understanding and knowledge the user has the better the firewall and the less work it is to setup and make work. daRcmaTTeR
