Shorewall announce - Aug 2003 - Redesigned Accounting

The current CVS version (/Shorewall project) contains a redesigned IP
accounting facility. The new facility is:

a) Much simpler. :-)
b) More flexible. :-)
c) Compatible with bw-acct. :-)
c) Incompatible with the previous implementation :-(

There''s a new Accounting Page available at:

	http://shorewall.net/AccountingNew.html

On top of Snapshot 20030813:

a) Move the ''firewall'' file from CVS to
/usr/share/shoreall/firewall
b) Move the ''accounting'' file from CVS to
/etc/shorewall/accounting

Sorry for the inconvenience but I really think this implementation is a
lot better.

Please let me know what you think.

Another great hack.

Actually, a great refinement to an already excellent firewall.

Your examples have me wondering about my network traffic....

Thanks,
