My firewall came from morizot, an online script that generates IPTables
firewalls, both Personal and Gateway scripts, very tidy...
* Outside of using one of these scripts, which suggests you run the script
as /etc/rc.d/rc.firewall <option>, where would you normally find the
firewall and is there a way (perhaps a webmin module or some such) that can
make starting, stopping, and editting the rules that much faster and easier.
/etc/rc.d or /etc/init.d are the standard places for starting and
stopping and generally controlling scripts. in some ways there is no
easier way to start or stop a script than typing
/etc/init.d/script start|stop|restart|reload
There are a million places that tell you _never_ to use these scripts in
this way! However, I don't know of a single person who heeds these dire
warnings!

of course you can put a cgi script up if you want to do it from another
box and don't want to use ssh.
as has been pointed out there are a zillion and one programs to generate
the script itself.
