Some more feedback (mostly spell and grammer checks of the online help):
1. In System -> Network Cards -> Add a NIC Manually
The list of selectable cards is empty. Should there not be a list of cards here?
2. In the Internet Access section, there is an option to specify a Remote Test Host to test the status of the Internet connection. My status is showing "Down" even though i know it is up. I specified a Remote Test host, that i can ping from the command line, but the status is still showing down. Doing a "shorewall logwatch" tells me that the ping is going to 212.43.244.27 instead of the host i am specifying. If it possible that the specifying a Remote Test host is not working??
3. In the Internet Access -> Cable, LAN section, the "LAN or Cable Configuration" display, the field heading of "IP Adress" is missing a "d".
4. The online help page in "Internet Access - Provider Accounts" has a line that reads:
"This page indicates that it it not needed to set up an Internet access account for this Internet access type."
The word "it" appears twice. The second "it" should be "is"
5. In the "Network - Bridging - online help" there is a line that reads:
" The result of this setup will one interface called br0 configured with your public IP address." I think it should read:
" The result of this setup will be one interface called br0 configured with your public IP address."
6. In the same area as 5 above there is a line that reads: "The bride service is restarted after modifying the firewall." The word "bride" should be "bridge"
7. In the same section as 5 and 6 above, there is a line that reads:
"Before the bridge configuration eth0 was configured for wan and eth1 for an in the above example."
this should be:
"Before the bridge configuration eth0 was configured for wan and eth1 for lan in the above example."
8. In the same section as 5-7 above, there is a line that reads:
"The following policy will have to me modified:"
"me" should be "be"
and finally on this same section:
The last line reads: "see http://www.shorewall.net for more infos on this". "infos" should be "info"
9. In the "Network -> Bonding" section. Clicking on the online help button brings me to a non-existent webpage:
"The requested URL /en/secure/help/modules/bonding/bonding-index.html was not found on this server."
10. In the section Service -> Web Proxy -> Online help, there is a line that reads:
" thus dramatically fastening access to this page while saving precious bandwidth."
this would be better worded as:
"thus dramatically accelerating access to this page while saving precious bandwidth."
My alternative is only a suggestion, as "fastening" is not the correct word here.
11. In the section "Service -> Caching DNS" there is a line that reads:
"DNS is is the Domain Name System". One "is" needs to be removed.
also, in the line
"A mapping is simply a association between two things" you should change "a" to "an"
12. In the section "Firewall -> online help" the first line reads:
"This section of the interface allows to control all the traffic that comes in and goes out from the firewall machine. It particularly allows to define the different groups of computers (zones) your firewall will deal with, and the traffic allowed between those zones."
You need to add the word "you" after both instances of the word "allows".
13. In the same section as 12, there is a line that reads:
"...administration interface won't be accesible anymore....". Accessible is missing an "s" (accessible) and "anymore" is two words (any more) not one.
Also, the line that reads "...It then reinstalls and activate the default....". Activate should be "activates"
14. In the section "Firewall - Zones interfaces -> online help" the first line contains:
"...configuration and allows to manage the three components..." There should be a "you" after "allows".
In the same section, there is a lines that reads:
"First of you have to define the zone names." The word "all" is missing after the "of"
and again in the same online help section, theres a line that reads:
" Interface: The firewall interface through with the host(s) communicate with the firewall." I think "through with" should be "through which"
15. In the section "Firewall -> Black/Mac List" section, there is a line under the MacList Configuration section that reads:
"...connected to one of t he LANs to which your firewall is connected.". There is a space between the letter "t" and "he" which needs to be removed.
16. Under "Firewall -> Peer to Peer -> Online help" there's a line that reads:
".....or any other FastTracl client,......."
FastTrack is spelt wrong.
17.Under "Monitoring -> Online help" theres a line that reads: "...(working without begin shutdown)..." "begin" should be "being"
18. When I go to "Monitoring -> Logs -> Firewall", the firewall log never comes back. It browser window is in a constant state of loading (I've left it for over 15 minutes) but the log never loads on screen.
That's my rant over for now! I know a lot of it is very trivial, but I like things to be polished, and theres no point in complaining about things and then doing nothing to fix them!
