Hey folks,
I tried to contact $MAINTAINER directly, but his email bounced.
I've been screwing around with host-based PF rulesets on my
home LAN for the hell of it, and I've noticed that Amanda backups
are hosed with a firewall in place, because of the dynamic port
allocation that Amanda does.
I was wondering if there was any interest in a PF flavor for
the Amanda port... Amanda provides --with-tcpportrange and
--with-udpportrange configure options, so I was pondering a
flavor that adds these two to CONFIGURE_ARGS, and a blurb in
pkg/MESSAGE-* that lists the ports that need to be allowed through
PF.
Any interest? Do I smoke too much crack? Better way to deal
with this? Current email address for $MAINTAINER?
Thanks,
Benny
ps: If there's interest, I can probably come up with a diff, but
I'm certainly no port guru (and I'm curious to know if this is
even useful for people).
