Hi,
        In Suse we have a great tool like YAST to configure firewall but the
desktop users faces a problem when they try to run some program which request
to open a port are silently dropped by the firewall.. and they need to see the 
log and then
open the port manually and the execute the program again... i believe
there should be an interactive tool which will handle this situation.. 

For Example :If user executes a program(say xyz) which needs a open
port, firewall should prompt the user that xyz program wants to open
this port and ask for a approval (say user needs to enter super user
password) and firewall will automatically allow the request and open
the required port.

So, if anybody knows about any interactive firewall which can be used in Suse 
or OpenSuse.. Please post here.

Thanks
Prasun
