The version of the ''firewall'' script in CVS (/Shorewall project) is capable of integration with p2pwall (http://p2pwall.sourceforge.net). The ''rules'' file in CVS contains updated help information. The ''releasenotes.txt'' file in CVS gives the simple instructions for setting up Shorewall to work with p2pwall. Note: I have confirmed that Shorewall passes connection requests to the ftwall process via NETLINK and that nothing blows up. I have not verified the ftwall functionality since I don''t have (nor do I plan to have) any P2P software installed anywhere in my network. -Tom -- Tom Eastep \ Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool Shoreline, \ http://shorewall.net Washington USA \ teastep@shorewall.net
