The thing about PF scrubbing which I'm most interested in is fragment
reassembly.  I understand this can be achieved in iptables, for practical
purposes, by invoking "connection tracking" (conntrack).

Does that sound right?  Is this something that is already done (or which
can be enabled) in Shorewall?

When I do "shorewall show capabilities" on my firewall (Debian Etch,
2.6.18-5-k7 kernel, running shorewall-perl 4.0.6), I do see a line that
says "Connection Tracking Match: Available".  Does that mean connection
tracking is already happening by default on my system?  Or do I need to
do something explicit in my Shorewall configuration to enable it?
