[ale] IpTables management?

[zack]

OK, I am going to go out on a limb here...

I have an OSS project on sourceforge that is currently in a very beta 
state, but I think worth taking a look at if you are looking for a 
graphical interface for managing iptables-based walls.

http://jwall.sf.net

Certain features don't work at this point, like packet rate limiting and 
global rules, for example.  But you can build and deploy iptable rules, 
including NATing and deploy via ssh through this app.  It requires java 
1.4 on the client, and nothing but sshd on the firewall(s) themselves.

There are binaries and source on the web site, but the best way to get 
it is off CVS, in which case you will need ant (http://ant.apache.org) 
also to build it.  Instructions to build from CVS are as follows:
# mkdir jwall
# cd jwall
# cvs -d:pserver:anonymous at cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/jwall login
# cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous at cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/jwall co jwall/
/ # ant jar
# java -jar bin/jwall.jar

Thanks, and any comments, criticisms and suggestions are highly appreciated.
