Public bug reported:

I have found uif to be a nice and simple way to manage my packet filters over
the years and just wish it could manage my ip6tables firewalls as well!

I have started to add this support and am tracking that in debian bug 
http://bugs.debian.org/679744

Assistance and comments would be appreciated.

In an ideal world the nicest approach would be to have one set of uif
input files which create both iptables and ip6tables rules.

However an easier approach is to add a "-6" switch to uif which when
ommitted uif runs a an ipv4 firewall as normal, but when -6 is used a
different config file is used by default and ip6tables is used instead.

The patches in http://bugs.debian.org/679744 are to implement the easy
approach!

Alex Owen
