Fedora does have a basic graphical control to the firewall at Main Menu > System Settings > Security Level, but it is limited. I recommend installing
Firestarter, a firewall tool for Gnome.
(TODO: update links)
Firestarter rpms are available at the fedora.us extras repository. The version built for Fedora 1 is at
http://download.fedora.us/fedora/fed...6/RPMS.stable/ To update with yum, add or uncomment the fedora-extras repository. Here's the relevant section of my yum.conf:
Code:
[fedora-extras]
name=Fedora Extras $releasever - $basearch - Extra Packages
baseurl=http://download.fedora.us/fedora/fedora/$releasever/$basearch/yum/stable/
ftp://ftp.tu-chemnitz.de/pub/linux/fedora/fedora/$releasever/$basearch/yum/stable/
gpgcheck=1
failovermethod=priority
Just run
Code:
yum install firestarter
as root.
Or you could download the rpm and install it, also as root:
Code:
rpm -ivh firestarter*
in the directory you saved it as.
Firestarter should be under Main Menu > System Tools > More System Tools. Run the wizard and you should be set. The documentation is at
http://firestarter.sourceforge.net/manual/
