Fairly basic command-line based utility with boot up scripts and a couple o=
f configuration files for managing and/or querying the status of the Linux =
kernel firewall=2E Other than that, really, no more no less=2E

What do you expect? Somebody could and should write a beginner level book =
on it=2E Graybeards need to bring newbies up to speed on this firewall stuf=
f=2E You locked the kids out and now they've grown up and they're opening u=
p locksmith shops on the other side of the railroad tracks=2E

Something real basic, make it easy to lock down a system at an elementary =
level=2E
