I was hoping that there was something that I was unaware of or could |

extend to do what I want to do. |

No, I don't think that Shorewall or a similar firewall config management |
| 17 |
system will help. |

I also find those systems annoying. Sure, they have their benefits. |

But why do I need them when I should be able to do the same thing on a |
| 21 |
stock Gentoo (or other) Linux system? After all they are using the same |
| 22 |
kernel. (Maybe a different version or config there of.) |

I will occasionally look at those solutions and treat them like themed |
| 25 |
Lego sets. I build them, look at them, analyze them, and pull out the |
| 26 |
distinct Lego bricks that I want to use in my own system. }:-) |
