on a related note ...

I use smoothwall at work (installed it just before I found out about the 
ipcop fork)


Until recently we had a policy of allowing all outbound traffic - but 
with the latest microsoft virus this has changed

primarily with the need to block outgoing connections to port 81 and so 
preventing any inadvertently unprotected machines from downloading the 
virus payload.

and I can't see any easy way to do this in either smoothwall or ipcop

For now I have manually inserted rules into ipchains - but smoothwall 
being the obscure beast that it is I can't find a place to store this 
configuration !

Does anyone know either how a good way to configure firewall rules in 
Smoothwall (beyond the supported web interface) ?

Failing that - is there a better free (libre) firewall that people would 
recommend.
