I forgot to mention that netfilter-init is a heavily hacked ipmasq. You will still notice the same structure, but many things have been added since 1999 when I took ipmasq to start ipchains-init. >Yes, your package is good enough for experimental, but it makes little sense >to upload there unless you are going to publically encourage people to use >it... The reason I am thinking about experimental is to announce its publication, and to get rid of the people asking me for the package ;) Greetings Marc -- -------------------------------------- !!
