  Added to and clarified comments. Added TCP 4444 outbound block to deal with W32.Blaster worm and variants; note that tFTP (UDP port 69) could also be blocked by FIRE|GATE for maximum effect, but currently is not. Fixed bug (introduced in v0.78): when CAM/CAMIP variables were null, a script error appeared. Added indicators showing FIRE|GATE's progress, and variable COLOR to use ANSI when displaying (re)start/stop/status messages. When DHCP variable is blank, script allows any DHCP server traffic inbound; if DNS variable is blank, all DNS traffic is allowed inbound (previous behavior dropped traffic, which can generate substantial PACKET DROP logs). Confirmed list of kernel modules needed now, and those which are optional and/or for future use

• FIRE|GATE 0.78 file released: firegate.078.tar.gz

  Added TCP/UDP port 135 to ignored ports. Added Gnutella ignore (disabled by default). Added/clarified more comments. Attempt to allow streaming camera apps like iVista. Added new variable "DROPEXT", default is true; if false, ./firegate stop does NOT drop all external traffic (keeps you from being locked out if using remote SSH, similar to 0.76 fix for local SSH). Added FAQ file and list of kernel modules needed for script.

  Added to and clarified comments. Additional ICMP messages are now allowed in for more compliant servers; response to external ping can be turned off with PING variable. If/Then/Else logic surrounded by quotes for more reliable operation. Added variable QUIET to suppress logging of commonly scanned ports; it affects SSH/HTTP/SMTP as well, if these aren't in use. Added variable WEBPORT for users whose ISPs block standard incoming HTTP port 80; adjust as necessary. Changed spaces to tabs for 2K savings.
