Package: ferm
Version: 2.0.5-1
Severity: wishlist
Hi,
I would like to write code like
foreach( @iface ) {
chain INPUT interface $_ saddr `ipofif $_` DROP;
}
Since ferm doesn't have a loop construct itself, it would be - for
example - good to expand the backticks to call an external script
which creates ferm code which is then immediately interpolated:
`external-program`
with external-program being some binary which prints
chain INPUT interface eth0 saddr 192.168.8.27 DROP;
chain INPUT interface eth1 saddr 192.168.9.31 DROP;
chain INPUT interface eth2 saddr 10.3.44.2 DROP;
Alternatively, some means to directly write perl code into a ferm rule
file would be great.
At the moment, I do this with a hook which writes a file which is in
turn @included later, which does the job but is ugly.
Greetings
Marc
