Guarddog firewall ... is it avaliable?

[svarreby]

I have never been a fan of Firestarter ... I've always opted for Guarddog when it's avaliable in a package.

Does anyone know if there's a Ubuntu-package for Guarddog?

 Description: firewall configuration utility for KDE
  Guarddog is a firewall configuration utility for KDE. It is aimed at two
  groups of users: novice to intermediate users who are not experts in TCP/IP
  networking and security, and those users who don't want the hassle of
  dealing with cryptic shell scripts and ipchains/iptables parameters.

Yes, it's available. GuardDog is really a KDE program, which may not fit into Gnome's look-and-feel too well. They both control the same firewall -- iptables -- so it makes little difference which interface you use.
