Frankly I don't think connection sharing should be adding rules outside of the way the iptables startup script works. Because anyone using the /etc/sysconfig/iptables file to configure their iptables is going to overwrite their connection sharing config. This basically means that the iptables startup script conflicts with the startup script for connection sharing. Of course I'm biased I'm the one who put the default startup script in iptables back in 8.1 (I think it was 8.1). IMHO the bug wasn't the default startup script but was how connection sharing was interfacing with iptables. But the easy fix for the time being was removing the default config... -- Ben Reser <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://ben.reser.org If your love has no hope of being welcomed do not voice it; for if it be silent it can endure, a guarded flame, within you. - The Wisdom of the Sands
