Just thinking about Adam's mail that started this thread - does it have to
be a web based interface? (there may well be good reasons from previous
thread which I didn't read). Putting total control of your external
security through a web interface always makes me uneasy. It would have to
safe guard its self to stop people accessing it across a network without
your approval. So in other words - you screw up a rule (not hard for a
person using a new interface) and you could be exposed. Where as if it's a
local X based application, screwing up your rules won't have quite the
potential repercussions. Of course you may want to use it on remote
machines, which can be done through SSH. Then also no need for a web
server to be running. Has anyone considered Python GTK?
