Harald, I'd be honored to! With the help of http://www.stearns.org/html2sgml :-), I've got that article in sgml form, ready to go. Fabrice, I've patched against your 1.30 Netfilter-extensions-HOWTO. Here are the files of interest: http://www.stearns.org/patches/netfilter-extensions-HOWTO.1.31.sgml The howto with my text merged in. http://www.stearns.org/patches/netfilter-extensions-HOWTO.1.31.html The above .sgml, converted to a single file html to see how it looks. http://www.stearns.org/patches/netfilter-extensions-HOWTO.1.30-1.31.patch The diff against 1.30. Please let me know if there are problems or if I should provide it in a different form. Thanks again to everyone for your help.
