Shameless plug: http://strange.nsk.pt/mine/ipconf

Or a simple script:

#! /bin/sh
/sbin/modprobe ip_conntrack_ftp &> /dev/null
/sbin/iptables -F
/sbin/iptables -X
/sbin/iptables -P FORWARD DROP
/sbin/iptables -P INPUT DROP
/sbin/iptables -P OUTPUT ACCEPT
/sbin/iptables -A INPUT -p all -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT
/sbin/iptables -A INPUT -p IMCP -j ACCEPT
/sbin/iptables -A INPUT -p TCP --syn --dport http -j ACCEPT
/sbin/iptables -A INPUT -p TCP --syn --dport ssh -j ACCEPT
/sbin/iptables -A INPUT -p TCP --syn --dport ftp -j ACCEPT
/sbin/iptables -A INPUT -p TCP --syn --dport ftp-data -j ACCEPT
