I''ve begun to think about 2.0. I would like to hear any ideas about what you would like to see included. Before I decide what new things will be implemented though, I want to nail down what WON''T be included. Here is my list: a) Old Ping Handling. There won''t be any ''noping'' or ''forwardping'' interface options and there won''t be a FORWARDPING option in shorewall.conf. b) ''routestopped'' interface and hosts option. Use the routestopped file instead. c) MERGE_HOSTS. The only behavior available will be what MERGE_HOSTS=Yes provides in 1.3. -Tom -- Tom Eastep \ Shorewall - iptables made easy Shoreline, \ http://www.shorewall.net Washington USA \ teastep@shorewall.net
