I think seawall is a good project, it can be found on source forge.

Subject: Re: Linux Firewalls
I too am very interested in firewalling my newly acquired cable modem.
Currently I'm using something I found called pmfirewall. It works
wonderfully by asking lots of questions and them producing ipchains
commands as output. It's really very well done, but (there's always a
butt), I really want something that works as well as pmfirewall but also
remembers what I did so I don't have to answer all the questions from
scratch every time. The problem with other ipchains interfaces I have
looked at is that they don't allow anything but vanilla firewalls, i.e.,
all or nothing.
My particular (relatively simple) situation is that I want one or two
machines to have unlimited access, then have a few machines each that are
allowed access via certain specified ports.
No other ipchains interface does this that I know about. If anyone has a
good recommendation, I'm open.
