Yeah, vim ;-) They're really not that different, and IMO it's important that you understand your firewall script. I doubt you'll understand iptables as well if you just let some script do the conversion for you. You'll find the differences are small enough to pick up very quickly, and that they are improvements. If you've already engineered the firewall, the hard work is done, and you just need to modify the syntax slightly. good times, Vineet > This message is intended only for the personal and confidential use of the designated recipient(s) named above.
