(the busybox shell is approx 64kb and must be there anyway) shorewall-lite is not practical in many sitauations. We send out preconfigured boxes with shorewall firewall. Many (most?) users dont know linux very well and many does not have a deep understanding in firewalling. Telling them to setup an another linux box so they can generate a config for shorewall-lite is just not realistic. a shorewall-lua would be just perfect. lua is 1/5 of the size of miniperl and is also faster. thanks! -nc ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Open Source Business Conference (OSBC), March 24-25, 2009, San Francisco, CA -OSBC tackles the biggest issue in open source: Open Sourcing the Enterprise -Strategies to boost innovation and cut costs with open source participation -Receive a $600 discount off the registration fee with the source code: SFAD http://p.sf.net/sfu/XcvMzF8H _______________________________________________ Shorewall-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/shorewall-devel
