Hi Abjin: I agree with Cass. I did learn ipchains and iptables the hard way. It gave me a good understanding of how ip filtering takes place. However, at the end of the day, I would have written a fw script generator if I needed to maintain or implement the same stuff regularly. While I feel a it is better to know what is happenning below the surface in order to debug in case something goes wrong, using tools that make the job easier is a good route especially for opensource. More users will mean more requests and hence better maturity of the tool. Furthermore, this will allow you to leverage on the learnings that others have garnered.
If this sounded like preaching, forgive me - I feel great being part of the opensource community as a user - I'm not a developer.

I suppose you can take out "shorwall" (note no "e") from the LRP=... in the syslinux.cfg file and then create your own package with your own scripts. But I'd have to ask why? Shorewall is one of the best features of Bering. It really does make iptables easy, easy enough for this newbie to understand ;). -- Cass __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
