Nuface is a Web-based administration tool that
generates Edenwall, NuFW, or simple Netfilter
firewall rules. It features a high level
abstraction on the security policy set by the
administrator, and works internally on an XML data
scheme. Its philosophy is to let you agglomerate
subjects, resources, or protocols into
meta-objects, and use those meta objects to
generate ACLs, which are then interpreted as
netfilter rules by Nupyf, the internal XML parser.
This tool may easily be extended to support
firewall implementations other than Netfilter.

Changes:
This release adds better ergonomy (especially
through simplified
forms), creation of contextual help, and
navigation history. The local
rules (INPUT and OUTPUT) now have a dedicated
form. For each ACL, it's
possible to log (with ulogd or NuFW) or not log
the connections with
a personalized log message, usable directly with
Nulog or any log
analyzer. The installation is also easier, thanks
to the creation of a
network autoconfiguration tool (interfaces,
networks, and routes).
