Is there any interest in having shorewall able to configure iptables/netfilter on a remote node? i.e. one installs shorewall on node foo, and executes the shorewall command(s) on node foo but has it install the actual rules on node bar? Indeed, a single shorewall installation could install rules/manage a network of nodes.
Obviously the easiest path to such a goal is to simply allow some form of remote execution to the node "bar". Could be rsh ~shudder~ or more appropriately, ssh, complete with keys and .ssh/authorized_keys entries that limits the scope of what the node "foo" is allowed to execute on "bar". Thots? Would I be wasting my time hacking up shorewall to do this or would such patches be considered for inclusion? b. -- My other computer is your Microsoft Windows server. Brian J. Murrell
