As per http://www.fwbuilder.org/guides/firewall_builder_installation.html#000150 you may face some issues like "fwbuilder statically linked with QT crashes on start on your CentOS system"

Though I would like to go ahead and install it on a CentOS 5.3 - i386 machine for trial purpose.

This is what I did:

Referring to the link : http://www.fwbuilder.org//docs/firewall_builder_packages.html

I created a Firewall Builder RPM packages repository as mentioned below:

1. Created file: vi /etc/yum.repos.d/fwbuilder.repo

2. Included the below mentioned contents:

[fwbuilder]
name=Firewall Builder
failovermethod=priority
baseurl=http://www.fwbuilder.org/rpm/stable/rhel-$releasever-$basearch
enabled=1

3. wget http://www.fwbuilder.org/PACKAGE-GPG-KEY-fwbuilder.asc
rpm --import PACKAGE-GPG-KEY-fwbuilder.asc

4. Then yum install fwbuilder

The below mentioned are the packages that got installed for me

fwbuilder i386 3.0.6-b1309.el5 fwbuilder 13 M

Installing for dependencies:
libfwbuilder i386 3.0.6-b1309.el5 fwbuilder 2.6 M

Total download size: 16 M
Is this ok [y/N]: y

5. I was able to access the same by typing "fwbuilder" in the terminal.
