It doesn''t seem like a lot to have ip6 support along side ip4. At least for filter rules.

Yeah, I have been wondering for quite a while now... On Thu, 2008-11-13 at 10:14 -0500, Robert Moskowitz wrote:> It doesn''t seem like a lot to have ip6 support along side ip4.I wonder. I do maintain ip6tables rules on my Internet gateway and it does seem as straightforward as IP4, albeit I think the number of iptables features is quite a bit less than IP4.> At least for filter rules.Indeed. Shorewall does make use of a number of extensions though to do what it does.> No NAT needed.Indeed. :-) b. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer''s challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/

Re: [shorewall-users] Any hope for IPv6 support?

The value of the tool is FAR in excess of the price we pay. In common with most open source projects, there is scope for anyone who requires a feature to either roll their sleeves up and contribute to the work, OR to sponsor the work - ie to put the food on someone''s table so they can spend their time doing the work instead of working to put food on the table. Since I don''t have the skills required, I can''t contribute to the work - and I don''t have the cash to sponsor it. So I simply wait until it gets done "if or when" Tom (or someone else with the skills) decides to commit THEIR time to doing it - I can say that it would be a nice feature to have, but I don''t feel I have any moral right to ask for it to be done, and especially to be done by any particular deadline. -- Simon Hobson Visit http://www.magpiesnestpublishing.co.uk/ for books by acclaimed author Gladys Hobson.
