PMFirewall for IPTABLES ?

[Nailz]

If anyone has used PMFirewall for ipchains, then they probably agree that it's a great little script to have handy....BUT

Does anyone know of a similar program for IPTABLES??? I'm currently running RH7.1 and using ipchains, but would prefer to use iptables instead.

And while I'm on the subject, How do I disable one (ipchains) and enable the other (iptables) once I have my rules configured?

Thanks.

Naiz,

I am very interested in a firewall script for IP chains.

I am not having very much luck getting my rules to work. Can you please post a link to the script?

Thanks,

Nice little script to setup the rules for IPCHAINS

PMfirewall is working on IPTABLES support but it is not available yet

1) iptables is pretty damn good tool..
check out sourceforge, there are a few decent tools there..

2) how is your ipchains installed? .. as module ...DO NOT load it.. if its builtin to the kernel, you'll need to do a rebuild .. built it then as a module.

When I went from chains to tables (sounds kinda kinky don't it? *grin*) I had ipchains as an addon to the kernel.... thus I just built iptables, stopped loading the ipchains stuff and went on my merry way.

gShield is easy enough to use and supports iptables: http://muse.linuxmafia.org

Lorithar -

ipchains? hmm. to be honest I cannot recall if I have it loaded as a module or not...but will double check (and remove ifi it is). I just rebuilt my main pc to RH72 and certainly want to utilize iptables properly for my internal LAN. Once my iptables rules are setup, how would I compile that into kernel? (note: I'm familar with kernel compiling, but not adding a specific setting such as iptable rules)

X_Console - Thanks as usual. Will checkout godot's script. Looks promising.
