Beta 4 in now available for testing. It includes all of the functionality that I intend for the final release. In this version, LOAD_HELPERS_ONLY=Yes not only loads a small subset of the available modules but it also defers testing the availability of a iptables/netfilter feature until it is actually needed. On my firewall, this change results in ~20 fewer netfilter modules being loaded that did the old scheme. -Tom -- Tom Eastep \ When I die, I want to go like my Grandfather who Shoreline, \ died peacefully in his sleep.
