I need a decent, easy, firewall on Centos. This is for test systems, so I do not need a lot. For 'a lot', I use and Astaro firewall. I had used Firestarter once, but found out that it cannot handle routing between a public and private network. Basically saying this is impossible. Of course, if your private network is addressed per RFC 1918 (that I co-authored), I can understand the difficulty, but otherwise.... Anyway, I found firehol, but this is rather confusing. ( how do I define a service like for port 5903? What about UDP for RTP? How do I run the thing?) There have been people here mentioning Firewall Builder, and that seems be well documented, except which rpm I should grab for Centos 5. I am looking over at http://www.fwbuilder.org/ and http://www.fwbuilder.org/nightly_builds/build-329/ for rpms, but which one? fedora-c5 ? thanks.

The version there is 6 months behind, but it looks mostly like bug fixes and for what I need this week, it should do the job.
