Shorewall devel - Jan 2005 - shorewall iprange tweak

I often find myself doing,

whois some.damned.ip.address

and then copying and pasting the address range for
the miscreant in question, and doing,

shorewall iprange x.x.x.x-y.y.y.y

with the aim to drop the entire range.

My one minor complaint is that I often have to edit out
the spaces between the hyphen when copying and pasting
the address range returned by whois.  I tweaked the shorewall
script to avoid this by changing the iprange case
to this,

	iprange)
		[ x$2 = x ] && usage 1
		shift
		ip_range "$*"
		;;

this works with shorewall 1.4.8.

BTW, thanks for a freakin'' amazingly useful firewall
configurator.
