Shorewall users - Feb 2003 - RE: Shorewall-users Digest, Vol 3, Issue 64

Did I just read completely past this or is this an undocumented feature?
Either way, thanks.
BTW for my first attempt at a Linux firewall, this proved to be a challenge,
but worth it. And most of the problems I''ve had are I/O (idiot
operator)
errors. Keep up the good work.

Yes. Simply add REJECT rules for those applications that you want to block.
