Hmm, I agree that it seems a long way off, but I'm not complaining because : Shorewall is an excellent tool, written by someone (Tom) who does it in his spare time, and for which he receives no remuneration - our gratitude may give him a warm fuzzy feeling, but it doesn't put food on the table ! The value of the tool is FAR in excess of the price we pay. In common with most open source projects, there is scope for anyone who requires a feature to either roll their sleeves up and contribute to the work, OR to sponsor the work - ie to put the food on someone's table so they can spend their time doing the work instead of working to put food on the table. Since I don't have the skills required, I can't contribute to the work - and I don't have the cash to sponsor it. So I simply wait until it gets done "if or when" Tom (or someone else with the skills) decides to commit THEIR time to doing it - I can say that it would be a nice feature to have, but I don't feel I have any moral right to ask for it to be done, and especially to be done by any particular deadline. -- Simon Hobson Visit http://www.magpiesnestpublishing.co.uk/ for books by acclaimed author Gladys Hobson.
