[TriLUG] Firestarter for Ubuntu (Dapper Drake)

[Andrew Ball]

A little off-topic of this thread, but is there a curses-based firewall
configuration tool in some Ubuntu package repository?  Firestarter
is nice, but I want to run a router without X and am always pressed
for time when I want to sit down and learn more of the details of
iptables.

I suppose a good solution would be for me to take the iptables rules\
from my Ubuntu server running Firestarter and make a service out of
it in init.d .  Shouldn't be too hard ...

Thanks for your help!
