Description:
joes firewall (joefw) is a simple and easy framework of files to manage a 
firewall-policy with Linux iptables.

Its _not_ another big single iptables-script with a ready to run policy. You 
should have a basic understanding of networking to use this.

Mainly it consists of a simple interpreter-script and a set of files which 
builds the firewall-policy. The big advantage is the combination of small files 
with simple rules (typically one rule for one service) with the connection 
tracking which makes it easy to build a policy for complex services.

For example you need FTP from you internal net with private adresses to the 
internet, then you simple add this rule to the file \"int-ext\":
# allow ftp from intern net to extern
-A $R -j New -i $INT_IF -o $EXT_IF -p tcp --syn --dport ftp

Complete sample-policy with connection tracking and four interfaces (intern, 
extern, dmz, ipsec-vpn) is included.


Other Software Required:
Linux Kernel 2.4, iptables, bash
