Hello, I see manage of firewall in CentOS (called security), and seems difficult to manage, not enough powerful.
I am searching a middle term between scripts of iptables to manage and Security manager of CentOS. I know FireStarter, another similar?

The GUI available (security) is absolute crap :P
I just edit /etc/sysconfig/iptables by hand personally ... although I have also deployed this script:

(You also edit that by hand for opening ports, etc.)

That's a bit like writing in an assembly language; okay for small tasks, but for bigger ones there are better ways to do it.

You can use firehol, which is not graphical, but quite simpler than direct iptables, and very powerful: http://firehol.sourceforge.net/
