Hi, Can I suggest a new feature: - I seem to be ending up with quite a lot of lines in my mangle file... - Could it be possible to support the action.xxx method of creating new tables through this file?
In particular I often want to do something like "if this bit in connmark is not set then do the following 3 things, but some of those things will be to set the bit". This gets complex to write in the correct order, being able to use actions (ie as per in the rules file) would make this significantly neater and less error prone. Effectively I would like to declare a (normal) shorewall custom action (just like I would for normal rules) and use this in the mangle file I see no reason to support a second action syntax for actions used by mangle, I would propose that the various included actions are simply processed by the rules or mangle code as appropriate (since there is a small change in supported options between the rules and mangle syntax). I guess this means carefully written actions could be used by either mangle or rules, but would break if you use features not supported by the appropriate subsystem (MARK, SAVE, LOG, etc)? Note: I do realise there are several complications in implementing this.... Note I am testing with 4.6.13.4. I apologies in advance if this is already in 5.0, it didn't appear to be (but I can see there is a fair amount of change happened in 5.0 wrt mangle?) Thanks for your thoughts Ed W ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Shorewall-users mailing list Shorewall-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/shorewall-users
