Hi Darren, My daily job consumes a lot of my time, otherwise I would gladly start putting some time in ipfilter. I am not *THAT* acquainted with every aspect of the ipfilter source tree, but that's the least of the problems as I can quickly learn how it all fits together. The _only_ problem is ENOTIME, so I don't think I can do a better job that you already do... If I *can* help with anything though (i.e. test building and/or runtime, performance or other tests of patches), please let me know. Having said that, I want to thank you for the effort you do to keep ipfilter up to date. I use ipfilter every day, both on FreeBSD and Solaris systems. Just "thanks" :-) - Giorgos
