I've also tried fwbuilder out (a pain to set up with ssh and what not), but for some reason the naked truth of iptables and a little script I gradually knocked up has prevailed as my chosen method of managing my firewalls. Full transparency as to what goes in and what comes out. PS. I found a pdf manual of fwbuilder somewhere in their website and it was quite detailed and very helpful. Strongly recommended for anyone who starts fiddling with it. -- Regards, Mick
