This concept is new to me and although I had (rather vague) idea of how ftp connections were tracked, voip is not the same (there are multiple 'data' channels - so it is not just one). If this modules can help track my voip data connections I won't burden myself implementing unnecessary rules and SELinux contexts - a big IF, I know, hence why I'd like to learn more about these two modules. Is there a more detailed help/reference about these somewhere? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Start uncovering the many advantages of virtual appliances and start using them to simplify application deployment and accelerate your shift to cloud computing. http://p.sf.net/sfu/novell-sfdev2dev _______________________________________________ Shorewall-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/shorewall-users
