Hi guys This patchset introduces a new tool called iptables-edit, which allows to apply iptables rules on an iptables-save'd state file instead of applying it to the kernel. This allows to minimize the outage of firewall script which rebuild the entire ruleset from scratch when something changed within it's configuration. It uses functionality from iptables-save and iptables-restore, therefore the patchset reorganizes those functionality in separate files. The patchset is against iptables 1.3.8. Please advice me if i should port it to another version or subversion repository. I will start with man page and ip6tables-edit as well if the patch makes sense to you. Please let me know what you think Regards, peter -- :: e n d i a n :: open source - open minds :: peter warasin :: http://www.endian.com :: peter@xxxxxxxxxx - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netfilter-devel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
