Nope, not yet. I haven't seen that much enthousiasm for the LRP version of
rcf. It took quite a few hours to ports all the scripts, so I'm a little
disappointed. I figure interest will pick-up as people try rcf... :-)

The idea is to first get rid of all the ipchains commands from all the
modules and functions, except for one function. This single function will
be called to setup the chains instead of calling the ipchains binary
directly. v5.1.2 will bring us to this point. v5.1.1 is almost there...
After that, it should be fairly easy to have that function use iptables or
ipchains as necessary. I figure a development version with support for
iptables will be ready in 1-2 months.
Although rcf uses ipchains, I've heard it beats out most of the iptables
scripts currently available. Since linux 2.4.x can use ipchains, there
isn't a _huge_ rush to port right away. :-)
LateR!
