Fedora Firewall

[Linuxxx]

Hello

What is the Fedora default firewall that is configured when you choose to have a firewall enabled during Fedora Core installation.

also where do I go to configure this firewall in KDE?

Thanx
Scott

I recommend you to use firestarter software to configure your firewall/NAT.

[Jman]

Fedora comes with a really basic graphical thing to configure the iptables firewall. It's under Main Menu > System Settings > Security Level. You should also be able to run it under KDE at a similar location. (The program executeable is redhat-config-securitylevel.)

Firestarter (http://firestarter.sourceforge.net/) is a full featured firewall configuration tool. There are rpms at fedora.us, in the fedora-extras yum respository.

also another nice one is APF Firewall, i'm using it :)

the conf file is nicely commented with plain english :p

Shorewall is very nice. Config is done thru text files but it is well documented and in fact easy when you read fine manual (they have great HOWTO's on their website). Shorewall has lot's of nice features such as QoS and bandwidth shaping.

Fedora Extras repository has shorewall packages.
