<para>&#34;I have fought with IPtables for untold hours. First I tried
the SuSE firewall, which worked for 80% of what I needed. Then
gShield, which also worked for 80%. Then I set out to write my own
IPtables parser in shell and awk, which was a lot of fun but never got
me past the &#34;hey, cool&#34; stage. Then I discovered Shorewall.
After about an hour, everything just worked. I am stunned, and very
grateful&#34; -- ES, Phoenix AZ, USA.</para>

there. After sifting through many other scripts, it is obvious that
yours is the most well thought-out and complete one available.&#34; --
