Alan made me the new net-tools maintainer, so u might contact me on that
Subject, since the ipfw is included in the Package. I have a lot of Bugfixes
for ipfw, if u want to take a look at, send me a mail to
net-tools@lina.inka.de. You can Download a newwer Version from
ftp.inka.de:/pub/Linux/networking/net-tools/. The BETA4 is only a small
improvement over BETA3 (see Changes). But I have already a BETA5 which has
some more Cleanups and Enhancements. If I'm done with it i will write a
official Announce .)
You might also take a look at ipfwadm.
