The "externals" of a software product are the aspects of the end-user deals with. a) The options in /etc/shorewall/interfaces are highly linux-specific. b) The features documented at http://www.shorewall.net/Shorewall_and_Aliased_Interfaces.html are completely Linux-specific. c) The sections in the Rules file correspond 1:1 to Netfilter connection states. ... > I wasn't looking for something to run on the > device, but simply some that would generate the commands I could put > into a script that I would then upload (or even copy/paste) to the > device. > > It might at least be a reachable goal for Linux-based routers.

The people who created LinuxOS thought that they were adding value when they created different interfaces to accomplish the same tasks that standard Linux utilities (like iptables) already handle. The down side is that tools, like Shorewall, that are based on those standard tools, don't work on LinuxOS? Maybe those people didn't add as much value as they thought they were... - -Tom - -- Tom Eastep \ When I die, I want to go like my Grandfather who Shoreline, \ died peacefully in his sleep.
