> I've taken a look at this and it would involve an almost complete rewrite of the five conversion routines (tos -> mangle, tcrules -> mangle, masq -> snat, routestopped -> stoppedrules, and blacklist -> blrules). A complicating factor is that people most often use both formats; they specify the leading contiguous columns, then use the bracket-based format for the remaining options. I certainly don't want to attempt to implement any changes to the conversion routines until after the next major Debian release. -Tom -- Tom Eastep \ Q: What do you get when you cross a mobster with Shoreline, \ an international standard?
