I've also tried fwbuilder out (a pain to set up with ssh and what not), but 
for some reason the naked truth of iptables and a little script I gradually 
knocked up has prevailed as my chosen method of managing my firewalls.

Full transparency as to what goes in and what comes out.

PS. I found a pdf manual of fwbuilder somewhere in their website and it was 
quite detailed and very helpful.  Strongly recommended for anyone who starts 
fiddling with it.
