If you want something really simple though you might want to check out freshmeat for phptables or similar, i.e. a nice little web GUI where you can tick a couple of boxes and have it spit out a iptables script for you, but it can't do anything overly complicated. If you want to script a nice secure and functional firewall though FERM is a great way to go about it. It's docs are pretty useful too. >>From Mitchell ----- Original Message ----- From: "Luke Davis" To: Sent: Wednesday, November 05, 2003 6:58 PM Subject: Any FERM Users > I am looking for a firewall scripting language, or structure system, for > iptables configurations. > > I have found some X solutions, but I'm looking for something textmode. > > The most promising of these I have found, are no longer supported, or have > not been recently updated. > > I did, however, come across FERM (Debian: apt-get install ferm). > > Has anyone used this, and/or what are the thoughts of anyone who has any, > respecting this system? > > Thanks, > > Regards, > > Luke > > _______________________________________________ > Speakup mailing list > Speakup@braille.uwo.ca > http://speech.braille.uwo.ca/mailman/listinfo/speakup
