I'm actually working on such a solution, project is for the moment named
gnufw. Some information can be found at http://www.gnufw.org

I planned to release the first version around the beginning of september
(sooner if possible).

For the moment we've got a generic framework and a communication
protocol :
	A daemon that send queued packet to an external server doing auth.

Work is now done on the auth server.

Any contributers are welcome.
