Did you see any Perl in the files I sent -- I didn't. - my point is that if > shorewall is going to support the audit feature - out-of-the-box so > to speak - the end user (i.e. me) shouldn't have to mess about with > actions and macros and so forth in order to enable a feature, which > is supposed to be "supported" in shorewall in the first place! No -- but I think that only a very small percentage of users will want to audit at the level that ADrop and AReject do (I definitely don't). So the majority of users are either going to have to start with the unaudited versions and add the auditing that they want or they are going to have to start with the audited versions are remove the auditing that they don't want. In either case, a user is going to have to understand Shorewall actions and macros enough to make the needed modifications. -Tom -- Tom Eastep \ When I die, I want to go like my Grandfather who Shoreline, \ died peacefully in his sleep.
