PCX Firewall is a perl script which works with several configuration files to generate 3 shell scripts (startfw, stopfw, and restartfw) which actually do the real work of the firewall. The design goal was to develop a complete IPTables based firewall solution that did not have to read configuration files every time the firewall is started. To this end, you could modify the configuration files to represent the configuration desired, generate the shell scripts, copy them to the /etc/pcx_firewall directory on your firewall, modify a startup script to start the firewall on startup and not have to have installed the configuration files on the firewall!
