I didn't criticize (in a bad way, only constructive!) the work that DL developpers do as I contributed to this project from the time I started using it (maybe 4 or 5 years ago) by feedbacks, answers on the ML for things I know to ease work of core developpers, patches, add-ons and various improvements. I certainly think too fast and write too slow as the thought was that we, DL developpers and contributors, should pay a little more attention to version upgrades and implications on configuration files changes to inform "normal" users from having hardtimes. I do contribute actively to another project called rapla, for person/resouces planning, with some heavy testing that allowed me to raise several Important and vicious bugs I couldn't correct myself (I'm not a developper, neither C nor java, perl, python ...), but helped in that I provided the author with really detailled bugreport he was able to fix the problem in a few minutes. In a general way, as I've done with shorewall, I don't keep for me the small (or less small) tips I encounters on my way when using free software as sometimes it allows improvings ... I make my remarks and the developpers consider it or not, but I've done "my job". As a freelance sysadmin, for more than 5 years now, I struggle to work exclusively with Open-Source Software, was it on Windows Linux or any other system, as an active militant, and also only for humanistic clients, which is for me the only way to continue working with pleasure as an IT professional, despite the fact I can painfully pay my bills each month. I'll keep my inscription on the Shorewall Users Mailling List as it is also a good way to improve my knowledge about it, and occasionally help but I'm far from beeing an iptables Guru and have not much sparetime these days because of a health problem. > At any rate, please see > http://www.shorewall.net/pub/shorewall/3.4/shorewall-3.4.4/known_problems.txt. > > Known problem #7 addresses your problem. > > Again, I whish to thank You a lot for your really fast reaction, Best Regards, MaNU > -Tom > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------- > This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express > Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take > control of your XML.
