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?
