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 rule-files which 
builds the firewall-policy. The big advantage is the combination of small files 
(one file for one direction) with simple rules (one rule for one service) and 
the connection tracking which makes it easy to build policies 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
