Thanks. I will have to check it out. Yeah, I think I will have to dump 
Guarddog soon and starting learning a new GUI firewall program if Debian 
is going to dump it. :(

Actually, will Debian remove my installed Guarddog later on or does it 
leave it alone? Guarddog seems to work though. I use the same firewall 
rules from my old Debian box (export and import feature).
