For console, you can use lokkit: lokkit - basic interactive firewall configuration tool (console interface) But I don't think it gives you as much control as iptables. Angelo -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

My point was that it would be very difficult to reach consensus over which firewall to use as default. It might be even tougher than the usual GNOME/KDE, vim/emacs, apt-get/aptitude, ... because there are so many choices and it would be very difficult to create a default set of rules that would work for many people.

to create a default set of rules that would work for many people. The default set of rules only needs to get people through the installation safely. After that, they can alter them with their favourite program, as needed. The rules here: http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/securing-debian-howto/ap-fw-security-update.en.html entered at the console (and before running tasksel) gives access to security updates and nothing else. It needs DNS and only works with HTTP URLs. Maybe a user could be told (during installation) to enter this (or something like it) before selecting packages. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?
