"Pmfirewall is a free program that automatically configures a Linux system as
a firewall. For the most part, it just asks a series of simple questions, such as
whether or not you want people to access an FTP server inside your
firewall, and then creates a firewall configuration script based on the
answers."
"Most people construct a firewall by using a utility called ipchains to create a
set of rules for how your server should direct network traffic. Pmfirewall
uses but doesn't replace ipchains. It simply relieves you of the tedious task of
writing up the ipchains' firewall rules manually. And, because pmfirewall
does such an excellent job of that, I used it to replace the set of ipchains'
rules that I had already created the hard way."
"...because pmfirewall is released under the GNU GPL (General Public
License), you can examine the source code for yourself to be sure it doesn't
create a back door opening to your network."
