I can't speak for ..ipcop-0.1.1 thru 1.2.0 are 2.2/ipchains and _not_ stateful, 1.3 upwards is 2.4/iptables and stateful, just like shorewall. For production requiring statefulness, you want shorewall, until ipcop-1.3beta1 is found demonstrably stable. > shorewall, I haven't had a chance to play with it yet (we wrote our > own firewall code + web interface so I haven't kept up too much on > some of these other projects). ..ah, time to back off on the panting and _take_ that time. ;-) > Dan > -- ..med vennlig hilsen = with Kind Regards from Arnt... ;-) ...with a number of polar bear hunters in his ancestry...
