Description: maintain and setup complicated firewall rules
 ferm allows one to reduce the tedious task of carefully inserting
 rules and chains by a large factor, thus enabling the firewall
 administrator to spend more time on developing good rules
 then the proper implementation of the rule.
 .
 ferm supports ipchains firewalls, ipfwadm rules and
 iptables firewalls. Changing to another system will be
 very easy, and ferm will help in the process.
 .
 ferm compiles ready to go firewall-rules from a structured rule-
 setup. These rules will be executed by the preferred kernel
 interface, such as ipchains(8) and iptables(8).
 .
 ferm will also add in modularizing firewalls, because it creates
 the possibility to split up the firewall into several different
 files, which can be reloaded at will, so you can dynamically
 adjust your rules.
 .
 ferm, pronounced "firm", stands for "For Easy Rule Making".
