This announcement appeared on the Netfilter Development list again this week. This was discussed last summer on the Shorewall Development list but not on the other Shorewall lists. What: iptables SAME target When: 1.1. 2008 Files: net/ipv4/netfilter/ipt_SAME.c, include/linux/netfilter_ipv4/ipt_SAME.h Why: Obsolete for multiple years now, NAT core provides the same behaviour. Unfixable broken wrt. 32/64 bit cleanness. Who: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net> For those who don''t know him, Patrick McHardy is the newly-elected leader of the Netfilter team, replacing Harald Welte. To avoid problems next year, it would be a good idea to begin converting your SAME rules to DNAT/SNAT rules. -Tom -- Tom Eastep \ Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool Shoreline, \ http://shorewall.net Washington USA \ teastep@shorewall.net PGP Public Key \ https://lists.shorewall.net/teastep.pgp.key ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
