(Last time my request ended up being possible to accomplish in a much different matter). I have a simple question... I've been using netfilter on a few different machines, Slackware mostly, 2.4.18 and .19 kernels, IPtables 1.2.6a. I like using the endosheild script, I've modified it to do exactly what I need to. I pay for 3 IP addresses from my cable provider and am thinking of cancelling 2 to route everything through the main dedicated linux box ... it's all set and ready to go. And the question is... are there any web-based frontends for modifying IPtables rules? Something in PHP or maybe perl? Even if they're not that fancy, and only allow modifications of incoming DNAT rules (kinda like port forwarding.) My thinking is that my wife runs servers all the time, on different ports all the time. I want her to be able to go to a local page, on the Lan side of the linux machine, use a few drop down boxes to modify incoming rules to forward ports to her machine. I know how to do this on the command line... but to have her be able to do it on the fly instead of me modifying them all the time is desirable. (Her local ip would also never change. The local network is 172.16.0.0/28 with the lower 7 ips reserved for static addresses, and the upper handed out by a dhcp server on the linux box, for guests, etc.) Anyone know of a good way to do this? I have everything in place ... the dhcp server, the netfilter script, the rules, the natting, etc. Just need a simple way to modify already exsisting rules. I've looked on freshmeat, but can't find exactly what I need ... any help would be appreciated ... thanks... -- Fred
