Hi, This is semi-OT, but is Centos-related.
I'm looking for an IPTables GUI to help us with our expanding network configuration. I know there's plenty out there, but most of them seem to manage the firewall on the computer on which they run, or only handle one firewall at a time. I need one that can easily manage multiple firewalls from some sort of central location/repository, i.e. sharing definitions of services, hosts etc.
I've googled and hunted, and FWBuilder seems reasonably good from what I've seen so far. Are there any other packages out there? Are there any recommendations (to look at or to avoid)?
Thanks,

I think there's one for shorewall and firestarter.

Thanks, but firestarter has to run on the actual firewall (thus not meeting the "multiple firewall/central repository requirement"), and the only GUI I've been able to locate for shorewall is a webmin plugin, which implicitly is the same as the above (quite aside from the dubious security scenario of running webmin on a firewall).

check out firewall builder from the atrpms repository or you can build it from source.

fwbuilder is the obvious choice for you.
I went through a number of options myself before settling on shorewall. My requirements are different than yours. But it was fwbuilder's obvious fit to what you are asking for that was the reason I rejected it!
There is an rpm out there that just installs into Centos with no trouble.

Thanks for the confirmation; knowing I'm not missing some other obvious option is good.
And thank you for being only the second person who's replied who has actually read the bit of my post where I state the local requirements, instead of telling me about YALFG (Yet Another Local Firewall GUI) ;-)
