Message-ID: <20000219003334.A1117@saturn.kn-bremen.de> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii X-Mailer: Mutt 0.95.7i Sender: owner-freebsd-isp@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Hi! Is there such a thing as in the subject? Something that lets me, say, put rules in groups, easily move around or clone groups, apply global changes to groups like search/replace addresses/netmasks? sure i can hack something up with a bit of perl/whatever for my specific problem, but maybe there is something more general out there... I currently need something for ipfw but even if what you use only knows ipfilter (or something else?) i'd like to hear about it, i may happen to like it so much that i'd just add ipfw support... :) (as long as source is available, obviously.) I have seen `flc' that was linked on (i think) the ipfilter homepage but decided to ask here first as it seems no longer maintained and would need to be updated (its from 1995!) to at least add all the ipfw features that are new since then. The idea to be able to generate rules for several different packet filters from the same input file certainly looked interesting tho and it would seem a bit strange to assume that really noone uses it anymore... (or is there a successor maybe?)
