[Devil-linux-develop] Firewall script confusion ...

[Bruce S. <bw...@ar...>]

I was recently ask a question privately about firewall scripts on DL. 
There are the scripts we provide in /etc/init.d, PLUS a couple more
firewall scripts in /etc/ppp.

I've never used PPP on DL, so the /etc/ppp/ firewall scripts were news
to me.  From the comments in those scripts, they appear to be part of
the Roaring Penguin package.  They also use ipchains, so I'm not sure
they will even work on DL.

Should we remove those scripts from /etc/ppp?  
Or what should I tell people asking about which scripts to use?

Removed from 1.1.   Shall I remove them from 1.0 too?
