In my humble opinion, it is incumbent upon those who add new features to provide documentation for them. I was happy to help here, since I needed to know how these worked myself (and since I'm fluent in C). As Andreas pointed out, it's easy to grep the source code to find the external command names, but that is only the beginning in figuring out how the commands actually work. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Free Next-Gen Firewall Hardware Offer Buy your Sophos next-gen firewall before the end March 2013 and get the hardware for free!
