Need assistance with Cisco PIX configuration

[Bill McGonigle]

Don't be afraid to turn on the PIX GUI, which runs over HTTP.  Try 
connecting to it with a web browser - it might be on.  I've done plenty 
of Cisco router configs and I find them straightforward.  The PIX GUI 
is usable though cumbersome for most applications.  The PIX CLI is down 
right difficult to work with.   And I've done many PIX configurations 
over the past couple years.  I have the books and it just shouldn't be 
that hard.  IPTables is far easier to understand and that's saying 
something.

We saw a great presentation on Linux/BSD firewalls at MonadLUG this 
month.  I'll be replacing a PIX at a major client site with one of them 
(probably m0n0wall, not quite sure yet) in a few weeks.  Lots of 
features, easy to use, stable, free and reliable security updates, 
cheap to have a spare, easier to find help with.
