I've been using Firehol (http://firehol.sourceforge.net/) successfully for about a year now (on half a dozen Linux machines - some being servers, some being just desktop units, and then my home PC as well). There's no GUI, etc., but it is VERY thorough. It takes one single configuration file, and you can actually do advanced stuff with your firewall (for instance, one of our machines has dual nic cards due to the fact it sits on the internal network AND the external network - I use the same configuration file for 4 servers, and it has a section for eth1 which is only executed IF there is an eth1 - which would be on that one particular server. This way I have scripts that grab the firewall off of the main server when it's changed, and then it restarts Firehol, so we do not have to go in and manually copy the firewall files and restart Firehol, etc.). There are numerous example configuration files, which actually make things look harder than what they have to be, but is also a good way to see what it's capable of. You can also use things like iptables tarpit with it too. The possibilities are endless - but you can have the firewall up and running with 10 minutes of installing it - and if you've created firewalls with it before, then you can have one on a new machine within a minute or so. -- Take care, Randall Hobbs Programmer - System Administrator - Acquire Technology, LLC Web Hosting * Programming * Software http://www.chipcastle.com
