I'd say that new ways to configure it will evolve out of the current environment. Remember when IPTables first came out? You had to be a network guru and write your own script. Now you can choose between many programs that let you configure iptables. For example, shorewall or firewall builder. I think over time (and as the needs are made clearer) better tools will be created out of necessity or simply seeing a better way. This is really what's missing...a healthy set of competing utilities and policy writing tools. I've been toying with doing something along the lines of firewall builder in my spare time. Gotta clear a back-log of projects first, though. -Steve Grubb _______________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Declare Yourself - Register online to vote today! http://vote.yahoo.com
