GUI Tools for Linux Firewall Configuration


Hi ,

I am wondering if there are any make it easy tools to configure the Linux Firewall in my redhat 9.2 . I have currently disabled my firewall and have ftp services open.

I had to do it after fighting for over 2 hours with vsftpd. I later came to know that it was the firewall and that i will have to allow port 21 both ways by command prompt ipfwadm .

I know its not that advisable to keep the system open and am really on the look out for some GUI tools to configure firewalls. I can also configure the firewall but will need a place to start. I am really a rookie and am not that comfortable with the command prompt.

So Links, Guides anything on the net that i can use is deeply appreciated.


Regards ,
Pradhip.S

Mepis uses that. Seems alright (although I overwrote it with Mandy the beta baby). I'll be revisiting it once I get the right cdrom extensions loaded to view what I burnt with that evil program known as Nero Borning Rom
