Can anyone suggest a firewall log analyzer? I''ve looked on sourceforge and freshmeat and haven''t found anything spectacular. Thanks, Tyler

I spend much more of my Shorewall effort on my Web site and the documentation than I do on Shorewall itself yet I get posts like this one that say: I looked on Sourceforge, Freshmeat, Google, every $EXPLICATIVE site on the Internet except shorewall.net and I didn''t find the information I was looking for about Shorewall.

It would be good if people would try read the documentation you make available on you site! I think it is only logical to look on your site before looking else where for information about shorewall! You know I do not write often on this list but think highly of you and your work on shorewall! Thank you for all your work on shorewall! I think you know people do try to answear questions more when you need time away from Shorewall questions. Please do not let things bother you too much and giveup. When you need a break people should/will understand. Larry Platzek larryp@inow.com

You often deprecate your "bad attitude" on this list. While many seem to have spoken up as to the quality of your product, or your diligence in posting repsonses to the list, I don''t recall anyone posting in your defence for your self-titled "Bad Attitude". As a long-time member of, and poster to, a relatively long list of newsgroups and mailing lists, I think your restraint is _admirable_. Internet etiquette has changed drastically since I started posting to Usenet and mailing lists, and IMHO for the worse. An absolute ignorance of the first bit of internet etiquette, and a complete unwillingness of users to help themselves, used to be looked upon with utter disdain. Nowadays, those who look down upon those who refuse to help themselves are derided for having a "bad attitude". I no longer participate actively in Usenet at all, and many mailing lists, for just this reason - calling someone on their lack of etiquette, or even the lack of the slightest attempt to help themselves, is no longer PC. You seem to have grown up in the same school of internet hard knocks, and yet you maintain your cool in all but (IMHO) the most extreme cases. You continue to post to this list, day after day, week after week, in spite of the inundation of newbies asking FAQs without having read them, or even being aware of them. I don''t know how you do it - it drove me away years ago. IMHO, it is not _your_ attitude that needs work. "This is Unix - stop acting so helpless." - Daniel J. Bernstein -- Greg White

Every experienced shorewall user knows how great your documentation is. But it''s natural that you have to face more with such people in opposition of getting positive response by users who are able to read your documentation and to help themselves by reading and understanding it. Usually the don''t need to ask... Head up, A satisfied Shorewall user :) Alex
Hello I''m very satisfied user, and appreciate your good work the documentation is good, some of the users are new and they feel more conformt and more secured when they receive a reply for a question that already in the FAQ, may be because it is related to security, and the need to be sure that they did not misunderstand anything thank you for keep it up and running, thankx for the hosting,thankx ........

In closing, I have one simple request - when you post asking a question and *have* tried to find that information on the Shorewall web site or in the released documentation, please say so. If the information is there but is difficult to find, then I can usually find a way to make the information more accessible.
