[Shorewall-users] Looking for a Volunteer

[Tom E. <te...@sh...>]

The 2.6 kernel series includes Netfilter 'physdev' match support. That support 
makes it feasible for Shorewall to support bridge/firewall configurations. 
I'm looking for early testers of such support.

Requirements:

a) Willing to run Shorewall 2.0.0-RC1 or later (RC1 will be released in a day 
or so) plus private updates.
b) Running a 2.6 kernel or a 2.4 kernel with physdev match support added.
c) Willing to devote enough time to help develop and debug the Shorewall 
bridge code. Also willing to put up with the instability associated with 
alpha-level software.

The current version of the code supports:

1. Defining a zone in terms of a bridged interface.
2. Allowing 'maclist' verification on traffic from a bridged interface.
