The following module was proposed for inclusion in the Module List:
modid: Net::IPTables
DSLIP: iupOg
description: Generate shellscript to set Linux 2.4 filter
userid: THEDEVIL (Ian Zimmerman)
chapterid: 5 (Networking_Devices_IPC)
communities:
comp.lang.perl.modules
similar:
IPChains Fwctl
rationale:
The two existing modules deal with "ipchains" i.e. Linux 2.2
filters, which are now obsolete. They both also provide wrong (IMHO)
levels of abstraction: IPChains too low, Fwctl too high.
My module would provide an interface to add new filter en masse,
referring to whole arrays of (for example) source IP addresses or
destination addresses, to compile the rules into the low-level
chains representation, and to output the result in the form of a
shell script. It would not hide concepts such as IP addresses and
ports under vague abstractions like "services".
