Failing that, and also assuming that the capabilities file is all-or-nothing, then you could alter the implementation which checks this file and import only what is specified (and ask shorewall to check the rest).
That way, I could create a partial capabilities file with the relevant helper lines disabled and in such a case shorewall will have to "fill-in" the gaps by performing the extra checks. Would that be better? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Precog is a next-generation analytics platform capable of advanced analytics on semi-structured data.
