Read the project page, for real: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FirewallD Where it explicitly says: ==================== Adding an abstraction layer on top of ip*tables and ebtables firewall rules makes adding rules simple and more intuitive. The abstraction layer needs to be powerful, but also simple, which makes this not an easy task. A firewall language has to gen invented for this. Firewall rules have a fixed position and querying generic information about access state, access policies for ports and other firewall features is possible. ==================== Please stop wasting everyone's time. -- 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
