Hello, Varun.  I've never set it up using webmin.  I have successfully
used fwbuilder (http://www.fwbuilder.org) and I know other good GUIs
have been recommended on this list.  There is a much more sophisticated
GUI in the works for much large installations (three to thousands of
gateways) but it is not yet complete (http://iscs.sourceforge.net).

If you have the time, it would still be good to learn the command line
underpinnings. There are some good tutorials in the documentation
section of http://www.netfilter.org.  I started with Oskar Andreasson's.

Good luck - John
