I'm currently being turned onto shorewall, which eases rule making for
iptables, I used to manually script iptables and was told I'm ridiculous for
doing so. (Hope I have my terminology right here.) Anyway, shorewall doesn't
seem to difficult; I'm currently not aware of a gui for it though. Webmin
plugin?? (RHL 9 is hitting End of Life at the end of April, just FYI.)
http://www.shorewall.net and for a couple old style samples of my manual
iptables stuff: http://www.turnpike420.net/linux2/IPTables/ however helpful,
they could be dated. Those script samples (the .txt files) were used in RH 7.3
and would be the file called /etc/init.d/iptables and I believe same location
in RHL 9.
Some TriLUGers are researching OpenBSD and pf for firewalling. (I think that's
the proper name.)
hope that helps,
David M.
Well, this won't help you in Red Hat, sorry, but Mandrake has a fairly
good gui tool to setup a "basic" shorewall configuration. It will
let you choose to open up several well know services (web, dns, ssh,
ftp, mail, pop/imap, samba, ping) and also let's you enter ports/transports
(like 139/tcp) manually. It's in DrakConf ("Configure your computer"
in the Mandrake menu) under "Security" -> "Firewall".
Cheers,
Tanner
