The following module was proposed for inclusion in the Module List: modid: Net::IPTables DSLIP: iupOg description: Generate shellscript to set Linux 2.4 filter userid: THEDEVIL (Ian Zimmerman) chapterid: 5 (Networking_Devices_IPC) communities: comp.lang.perl.modules
similar: IPChains Fwctl rationale: The two existing modules deal with "ipchains" i.e. Linux 2.2 filters, which are now obsolete. They both also provide wrong (IMHO) levels of abstraction: IPChains too low, Fwctl too high. My module would provide an interface to add new filter en masse, referring to whole arrays of (for example) source IP addresses or destination addresses, to compile the rules into the low-level chains representation, and to output the result in the form of a shell script. It would not hide concepts such as IP addresses and ports under vague abstractions like "services". enteredby: THEDEVIL (Ian Zimmerman) enteredon: Mon Mar 17 04:56:45 2003 GMT The resulting entry would be: Net:: ::IPTables iupOg Generate shellscript to set Linux 2.4 filter THEDEVIL Thanks for registering, -- The PAUSE PS: The following links are only valid for module list maintainers: Registration form with editing capabilities: https://pause.perl.org/pause/authenquery?ACTION=add_mod&USERID=5d300000_b587663a34725cf4&SUBMIT_pause99_add_mod_preview=1 Immediate (one click) registration: https://pause.perl.org/pause/authenquery?ACTION=add_mod&USERID=5d300000_b587663a34725cf4&SUBMIT_pause99_add_mod_insertit=1
