In the discussions that I had with John at Astridevcon, we where

a generic interface to iptables/ipfw/pf through shell scripts. Might  
be a way to
avoid licensing issues with iptables/netfilter.

I would recommend reading the doc John refers to in the bug report.

I don't think you can be allowed to modify firewall configs without  
being root or having
root privileges somehow.
