for what? a kernel with compiled in iptable - support is slower than a minimum kernel (shorter code paths) and I don't want to see (l)users to mess up with iptable scripts. A "standard" user shouldn't have any servers (except samba | ssh | smtpd) enabled, there should be no need for iptable scripts which could not be satisfied by hosts.(deny|allow) > thanks for help > > hugh Andreas -- > Translate "Scientia est Potentia", please.
