Yet another firewall question

[killerasp]

I want to use pmfirewall to enable ip masq. but can i still use iptables to setup a firewall?

Do you mean does pmfirewall have support for ip masqing? Yes.

i want to use iptables for firewalling and pmfirewall for ip masq. it looks hard to do ip masq with iptables

iptables -A POSTROUTING -t nat -s $LOCALNET -o $EXT -j MASQUERADE

Pmfirewall isn't actually a firewall. It's a front-end to ipchains or iptables. I'm not sure if there's an iptables version of it. All it does is build a firewall script for you instead of writting one yourself.
