I read the now famous FAQ 77 (this is actually what I have started 
with), though I was hoping to get more help on the above modules 
themselves and their integration into Shorewall - apart from specifying 
the startup options (in the 'modules' file) is there anything in 
particular that Shorewall uses to 'help' with such tracking or is it a 
case of leaving this to the modules themselves after they are loaded?

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?
