Tischenko" To: hackers@FreeBSD.org Subject: Character device major id allocation Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-hackers@FreeBSD.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hello, I wrote a MAC filtering package to provide some firewall security for ethernet devices based on MAC address pairs and (in future) on protocol id's and variable substrings in data portion. This package requiers a character device major number for control purposes. If there is any interest in the package will it be possible to assign a major number to it ? Also if there is any interest any information/source along with the development plan will be provided. Alexander V.
