Prey tell, what is wrong with maintainers of for example iptables, providing a conffile with samples (which may even be commented out) which they can reference to in their documentation, where they comment on the different settings? This is what we do with /etc/sysctl.conf today. And I still think a wishlist bug against iptables is appropriate and would have helped Jidanni, had it existed. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
