Personally we use shorewall, its great! ;o) Nice hardcore text file!
You can get a webmin module for iptables, shorewall, simple firewall, ipchains and turtle, if your a bit soft and like webadmin :o) <hehehe>
Aside Webmin is great, esp. for those of us who admin a windows network and cant be bothered with ssh (having said that I now have a Linux box and a windies box on my desk)! And also for the soft windows admins who are scared of text files!
At home I use a simple masq firewall, 3 lines and protecting me from windoze script kiddies. :o) What more do you want on a 56k connection! hmmmmm, East Anglia for ya!
Has anyone ever managed to setup Snort for the IDS side of things, I am really struggling with the whole needing a MySQL db, I come from an MS SQL side of things so I am still a bit soft... :-P
Any way, All the best.
