[wellylug] Looking for a easy to use firewall package

[Simon Blake]

If yawl are going to run MNF, then you might as well go to the source,
and just run Shorewall, which MNF is based on.  It doesn't have the
shiny web interface, but it does all the other requirements.  You just
plonk it on top of redhat, debian, LRP, or whatever.  We liked it so
much, we installed it on 150 routers :-).

Cheers
