Shorewall users - May 2006 - shorewall + bfg

Hello.

Someone has used bfd (http://www.rfxnetworks.com/bfd.php) with shorewall to
prevent brute force attacks? If yes can send me what I have to change in
shorewall or bfd to they running fine?
Thanks

This is a bad idea in general, I suggest you better look into the
shorewall docs here :http://www.shorewall.net/PortKnocking.html#id2460417
