>From all those that have responded, it's clear that there's a desire for things to change from ipf.conf/ipf6.conf to be just ipf.conf. At one point I thought I would make an IPFilter 4.3 (after using 4.2 to work out bugs) but the number of changes I need to make - which now includes finding a way to migrate from ipf.conf/ipf6.conf -> ipf.conf - dictate that the next version should be 5. So yes, this'll be in ipfilter 5. Darren
