Hi kp, I have just looked at the "annotated" config files in the Shorewall 4.4.20 distribution and IMHO the documentation will just get in the way when editing the files. My /etc/shorewall/rules file is already large enough :-) My vote is therefore to stay as we are, using the "plain" files, and to clearly direct users to the online documentation at shorewall.net, though I am happy to be outvoted if others disagree. dMb ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ EditLive Enterprise is the world's most technically advanced content authoring tool.
