Can i code a netfilter extension for PHP or don't you guys see the need
for it ?
It could result in some great firewall frontends in PHP
Go for it. Assuming the netfilter library is not under the GPL.
LGPL is
fine.

It's under GPL, i'll email their core team and ask if they'll consider
LGPL
!Exclude Disclaimer!
Well they said no to LGPL. So that leaves the option of writing a lib to
connect to netfilter via sockets, problem is that it uses RAW IP sockets
which requires root access. I've searched the mailing lists and docs for
setuid/suexec and found the posix_setuid() function, should i leave it
up to the user to run posix_setuid() or set User/Group from httpd.conf
in order to be able to use this new netfilter extension ?
