Description:
 Firewall Builder is a multi-platform firewall
configuration and management system. It consists
of a GUI and set of policy compilers for various
firewall platforms. It helps users maintain a
database of objects and allows policy editing
using simple drag-and-drop operations. The GUI and
policy compilers are completely independent, this
provides for a consistent abstract model and the
same GUI for different firewall platforms. It
currently supports iptables, ipfilter, ipfw,
OpenBSD pf and Cisco PIX. Existing configuration
can be imported for iptables and Cisco IOS access
lists. Built-in policy installer uses ssh to copy
generated policy to the firewall or router and
activate it.

Changelog:
 v2.1.19 is a bugfix release. Few bugs that
affected support for
"limit" and "timeout" options in compiler for
PF were fixed; option "Clamp MSS to MTU" in
compiler for iptables now generates rule that
will match packets in states ESTABLISHED and
RELATED; bug that affected printing long
rulesets on Windows was also fixed.

Major update: starting with v2.1.18, policy
compilers for Cisco PIX (supports FWSM and ASA
appliances) and IOS extended access lists have
been released under GPL and included in the main
package. Changes in the packaging: now we ship
only two RPMs, one for the fwbuilder library
(libfwbuilder-2.1.18.rpm) and the other for the
GUI and all 6 policy compilers
(fwbuilder-2.1.18.rpm)
