I can try:) I however have some ideas on how to make a better API (as in more hooks to userland, which btw now after i have read an "FTP requests comment, migh even make more sence). One thing though - if we (you :) will really work on this - can we set up some tiny mailing list for IPFW ? Should we? (Or tell me if i have everyone who was interested on this e-mail "To" list and forget this request:) --Ugen Ruslan Ermilov wrote: > On Thu, Jun 17, 1999 at 02:34:55PM -0400, Ugen Antsilevitch wrote: > > The part that obviously interests me is IPFW - if you guys are > > interested to put some effort in "real" i.e. stateful firewall > > to be developed i'd love to offer any help i can. > > > Great! > > How we should proceed -- that's the question.
