Use any gui firewall/NAT program like fwbuilder, firestarter, guarddog/guidedog (KDE), etc. They all take graphical rulesets and then convert them to iptables and install them.
which one of these tools will translate my choices into a file and if I wanted to edit it manaully, I could just simple modify the file. I attempted to use shorewall but I dont like the output files. It is not what I am used to seeing like my example above. thanks
Another suggestion would be to install Webmin and Shoreline Firewall and try that...I didn't see that a file could be edited, but this may help in the learning curve.
