As it happens, this was just mentioned elsewhere:
http://fwbuilder.sourceforge.net/
iptables will do what you want, but it's a very raw method of defining
firewall rules. I (and many other sluggers) use it directly every day, but
having a good user interface to build your rules - at least an initial
template - is far faster (especially if you don't have a cookie-cut network
to deal with).
(Please snip full quotes out of your replies. Thanks.)
