However I agree with you that netfilter is easier to use and has more capabilities, I still can't beleive that netfilter (iptables actually) doesn't have a way to identify rules uniquely (via an ID). So simple feaure, so powerfull, and still iptables doesn't have this. And no, linenumbers don't identify rules uniquely, they can change at any moment. -- damjan | ÐÐÐÑÐÐ This is my jabber ID --> damjan@xxxxxxxxxxxx <-- not my mail address!!!
