Are you aware of anything similar for linux? I realize you can use iptables to allow or deny traffic in or out, but I'd like to see something a little bit more interactive.

Interesting. I'll look at that in detail tonight and see if it does what I want. One of the features I'm really looking for is some kind of notification, like "program XYZ wants to connect to the internet - allow/deny?". Programs like this are pretty annoying when you first install them, but once they've run for a while, they can be damned useful in identifying things that you didn't think were accessing the net, but are.
