look at firewall builder http://www.fwbuilder.org/

It creates a script that sets up iptables.

s-c-f is the standard firewall config tool on Fedora and it's enough for
probably 90% of users or more. It's just a frontend to iptables. Other
Linux distros will have other solutions.

I'm surprised no-one has mentioned shorewall,
which I assumed was the standard Fedora firewall generator.
Maybe it is more useful if you have a system
with several machines?

Also Firestarter, but calling either of them "standard" in this context
would be a stretch. At least s-c-f is actually distruibuted with the
system, which is a pretty good criterion for "standard" in my book.

I used to use Firestarter on my desktop but with later versions of s-c-f
I found I didn't need it. YMMV of course.
