[ale] IpTables management?

[mark]

Hey all!!  I really miss the ALE meetings.  We moved here to D.C. several 
months ago.  

I wanted to use a laptop with two interfaces, one connected to the firewall 
linux box and another wireless.  Were living very near to 495 in North 
Bethesda MD.  Since the laptop was behind a linux firewall box anyway, I 
installed Shorewall with Webmin.  When I connect wirelessly, I use SSH and 
Port Forwarding.  With Webmin, setup was very intuitive.  And, Shorewall 
seems to have excellent Docs.  Though, I wouldn't recommend WebMin for a 
Linux Box connected directly to the internet.  Just my opinion anyway!  

Thanks for the great ALE meetings.  I really believe ALE is one of the finest 
Linux Groups around!!  --Mark
