iptables "frontend" on FC
by Carlos Rodrigues
Hi!
As we stand now, FC doesn't have a firewall configuration tool worthy of
that name. There is system-config-securitylevel which is fine for a
workstation or desktop machine, but for a server or gateway box there is
no way to build a good firewall short of diving into iptables directly.
There are a bunch of iptables frontends (GUI or otherwise) out there,
but I would rather have something more high-level. So, my preference
would go to something I have been using in my home gateway, and some
servers at work, for some time now. That something is FireHOL
(http://firehol.sourceforge.net).
I think this would be a nice addition fo FC because is is not only a
simple iptables frontend. It is a language to describe firewalls, which
generates them using iptables rules. It is very straigthforward and
powerful. The config script even accepts the use of bash constructs -
FireHOL is itself bash based - which makes it a tool which "makes simple
things simple and hard things possible".
I'm not the author of FireHOL, so this isn't gratuitous publicity. It's
just a great tool (which successfully passed my "first hours
excitement") that would make a good addition to FC (and it's small, so
no problems there).
What do you people thing about this: good, bad, alternatives?

A true package manager.
by Nando
Hi everyone,
for when is it scheduled to include a true package manager?
One that gives ther options to see all rpm's instaled, remove, install new nes, and so on...
In the early stages of fedora, one of the test releases, before the FC 1, came with a tool that does part of
what i said before, despite part of it's functions where disabled. But it never was included before. Is there a reason for that?
Because a grafical tool to do interface with yum woulld be great, so some basic task could be done, like adding rpm's, removing, seeing all the rpm's avaiable to install, and more.
And it could o a litle further, merge it with up2date and create only one tool, that deals all the functions regarding the
managing of the rpm's, the detection of updates, and so on...
Is there anything planned?
Thank you,
Nando

<SNIP>
Sorry to jump in here. This is to validate some of Iago's comments..
I have hangs when it's trying to get headers. If it hangs I restart it
so it goes to a different site. Otherwise it will sit forever fetching
package headers. If I get to downloading packages, I'm home free.
It would be wonderful if there was a full-auto option.
I'm new to this maillist. Been running Redhat/Fedora for a year and a
half. Other Unix platforms for 15 years. I'm currently getting digests.
I'm not afraid to get my hands dirty.
Regards,
Bill

For the record, I do. I see no reason I should switch to something else.
