I've never set it up using webmin. I have successfully used fwbuilder (http://www.fwbuilder.org) and I know other good GUIs have been recommended on this list. There is a much more sophisticated GUI in the works for much large installations (three to thousands of gateways) but it is not yet complete (http://iscs.sourceforge.net). If you have the time, it would still be good to learn the command line underpinnings. There are some good tutorials in the documentation section of http://www.netfilter.org. I started with Oskar Andreasson's. Good luck - John -- John A. Sullivan III Open Source Development Corporation Financially sustainable open source development http://www.opensourcedevel.com
