Is ''port forwarding'' a relatively new thing with packet filtering? Or has it always been available since iptables appeared on the scene. --- Ted Gervais Coldbrook Nova Scotia Canada B4R1A7

Which makes me wonder about some of the things I hear. By the way - did you happen to read my message from last night. I hope I wasn''t out of line in asking you to look at a few files???? The message was about shorewall setup. Everything works fine now which is why I am asking the quesion(s). I also opened a few extra ports (tty) stuff. Maybe that wouldn''t me good too. It is all in the status file(s)..> > -Tom > -- > Tom Eastep \ Shorewall - iptables made easy > Shoreline, \ http://www.shorewall.net > Washington USA \ teastep@shorewall.net > >--- Ted Gervais Coldbrook Nova Scotia Canada B4R1A7

Besides that, gazing at "shorewall status" output is ok when there''s a problem to solve but it is sleep-inducing otherwise... -Tom -- Tom Eastep \ Shorewall - iptables made easy Shoreline, \ http://www.shorewall.net Washington USA \ teastep@shorewall.net
