Is a GUI not an option? Firestarter does what you are saying; it starts you
off not allowing anything, and anything that gets blocked is logged. You can
then check that log and right click on the entries to either allow that IP
addy access to that port, access to all ports, or to open the port up for
everyone.

On a related note, has anyone ever tried Firewall Builder [1]? Yay, nay?
