I don't know if it supports RCS directly. I don't think so. The
development team is small and tightly controlled. The files it
generates are XML, so I don't think version control would be a problem
or difficult to implement.
I think FWbuilder would be an outstanding sys admin tool. It isn't that
iptables are that hard, it is just that if you do it for a large number
of machines or you only do it once in a while it is easy to get
disorganized. I find that fwbuilder allows me (a relative fw newbie) to
keep our firewalls organized.

Initially complex-looking. Qt. But it looks like it'd be very
Enterprise-Friendly. RCS? (I like the premise of that; a real admin puts
everything into version control)
