It is damn easy to add firewall support into pfinet. It basically means enabling the firewall, adding the interfaces and porting the userspace utility from linux (ipchains?) to set it up. But doing this because the bureaucracy wants it seems like a silly reason to me. I am considering writing a new pfinet from scratch because the current one really sucks, in my opinion. If we want firewall support it should be in the new pfinet, IMHO. Thanks, Marco -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
