Hello, MNF only uses a web interface to configure shorewall ... it does not have all the features that shorewall has ... due to some frontend/php limitations. You cannot use space-separated lists, for example. But you almost have everything ... And please consider that shorewall is moving quite often ... so it takes a little time to add the new shorewall features in MNF. But MNF has some other features as it's not a simple firewall (DHCP server configurations, some graphs, caching name server, squid proxy server with url/content filtering ... and other features) have a nice day, -- Florin http://www.mandrakesoft.com http://people.mandrakesoft.com/~florin/
