To bundle not, but to write GPL licenced documentation based on it. And our documentation is GPL licenced... But anyway, I dont think Debian Edu should ship low level firewall scripts based on iptables. Thats way too complicated and error-prone. Instead I'd suggest we use a shorewall based solution. Description: Shoreline Firewall (Shorewall), a high-level tool for configuring Netfilter Shorewall allows you to describe your firewall/gateway requirements using entries in a set of configuration files. It reads those configuration files and, with the help of the iptables utility, configures Netfilter to match your requirements. . Shorewall supports a wide range of router/firewall/gateway applications, traffic shaping and almost every type of VPN. shorewall - Shoreline Firewall, netfilter configurator - transitional package shorewall-common - Shoreline Firewall, netfilter configurator - common files shorewall-doc - documentation for Shoreline Firewall (Shorewall) shorewall-lite - Shorewall (lite version), a high-level tool for configuring Netfilter shorewall-perl - Shoreline Firewall, Netfilter configurator (Perl-based) shorewall-shell - Shoreline Firewall, Netfilter configurator (shell-based) regards, Holger
