In reading through their docs, they say to enable 'every option under iptables'. there are 36 possible choices here! (counting the sub-choices under Full NAT Packet Filtering). Is it necessary to build all of these modules into the kernel in order for firestarter to work properly? Thanks for the input. John D -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
