I have been using SuSEfirewall2 for several years with IPv4. However, IIRC, it doesn't work with IPv6, which I have recently started using. What firewalls work with IPv6?
We abandoned all else for fwbuilder *years* ago, and it has only gotten
amazingly better. It supports iptables, IPv4/IPv6, BSD's ipfw, Cisco
IOS, etc... it will install and activate the rules across the network...
it is one *amazing* application.

Build your servers' firewall configurations and click install. In a
beautiful GUI with zero loss of flexibility.
zypper ar -cf -n 'Firewall Builder' \
http://www.fwbuilder.org/rpm/stable/opensuse-11-i586/ fwbuilder
wget http://www.fwbuilder.org/PACKAGE-GPG-KEY-fwbuilder.asc
rpm --import PACKAGE-GPG-KEY-fwbuilder.asc
zypper refresh
zypper install fwbuilder
Enjoy. I only wish other aspects of Linux administration had tools of similar quality to fwbuilder.
