Package: iptables
Version: 1.3.3-2
Severity: wishlist
Hello,
so far I used the old init.d-script that used to be included in
/usr/share/doc/ifupdown. I read the notice of using ifup/ifdown
instead and ingnored it, because example scripts were missing or just
consisted in ideas/hints. There should be a usable example included in
the package.
I developed my own scripts. The idea is to use user-defined chains for
each interface and IN/OUT-direction. The standard-chains INPUT and
OUTPUT dispatch to the per-device-chains. The scripts fit the needs of
servers, workstations, notebooks that do not need natting or
forwarding. The scripts are usable for dynamic device-changes as often
used with wireless-adapters.
So far I commented the scripts and described the ideas in German for
our University:
http://www.rrzn.uni-hannover.de/fw_debian.html
But you do not need to understand German to understand the simple
scripts ...
If you like the idea and want to include the scripts in
/usr/share/doc/ifupdown/example, please contact me by mail. I would be
delighted to translate the comments and write a description in
English.
Thanks for the iptables-Package,
Hergen Harnisch
