I see, cool! I missed that one the last time i tried. Think i should give it another try. At the other hand it's a compiler, which rebuilds from scratch, isn't it?. Another advantage (can also be a disadvantage) is that iptables-edit don't rebuild the entire firewall ruleset from scratch, so one can have it's manually added iptables rules which then do not disappear after next iptables-restore. Furthermore option handling will be done by iptables extensions itself and it's not necessary anymore to separately implement it within the compiler. Could be an advantage. peter -- :: e n d i a n :: open source - open minds :: peter warasin :: http://www.endian.com :: peter@xxxxxxxxxx
