Jack:
I would definitely second that. I had some very trivial IP
chains rules
put in place at first on my home and school network but
after hearing about firestarter on this list a few months
ago I have a fully functional, easily manipulative firewall
that I can change easily
without the worry of shutting off services I need, etc. Plus
I could add my own IPchain rules that I had in the past that
I knew worked well and wanted to keep. It is simply a matter
of setting it up in X and if you don't want to run in X,
don't worry. You can configure to run out of X and add rules
whenever or jump back into X and add or delete a rule so as
to get the syntax right. Very good program.... I am still
using the 0.5.1 version with low end pentiums running RH 6.2
used only as firewall boxes and they work great.

As to the question of interactively massaging your firewall
rules "at will",
Firestarter is an app which excels at this. Leave the
Firestarter monitor on the
desktop and open and close ports to users when you see fit.
Check it out at:
http://firestarter.sourceforge.net
The latest version is at 0.6.1-1. You will need the gnome
libraries loaded
which I assume you have if you are using RH.
