Thank you for everyting! Cheers,

gShield doesn't need an RPM..
It comes as a tarball...
unzip the tarball and dump everything in it to /etc/firewall
Then edit the one config file.. /etc/firewall/gShield.conf
(it tells you exactly what to do in there, most answers are 'OPEN' 'CLOSE'
or 'FORWARD')
In most cases the defaults are good...
The reasons I like it are:
1. Simplicity:.. you don't need to understand any of it to get it working
and configure it to your needs.
2. Power:, portforwarding, DMZ's tcpcookies and tons of other stuff. (but
you don't need to play with that them you don't need them.)
3. See know evil hear no evil.. once its working, it just works,, no need to
mess around and if you need to change something, you just edit a human
readable conf file.. its brilliant in its simplicity.
4. There is a GUI configurator available on their site as well, but I've
never used it and don't need it.
5. Takes about 2 minutes from unzipping it to have a working firewall.
You can get it from : http://muse.linuxmafia.org/gshield.html
