Firewalling and Masquerading HOWTOs

[David A. Ranch]

Hey Paul and other NetFilter peoples..


Paul Jenner recently brought up a good point.  

I know many of you have lot better things to do than 
maintain the HOWTOs for the netfilter/NAT functionality.  
Since I've been maintaining the IP-MASQ HOWTO for a 
while now, do any of you have any issues with me helping 
maintain the NetFilter HOWTOs?

The main reason I'm offering my time is that I realize that 
IP Masq is going to die.  Because of this, my role as the 
IPMASQ howto maintainer will drop off.  Since I can 
effectively contribute to the Linux movement via NAT and
its documentation, I'd like to offer my services.

Thoughts?

	I notice that the netfilter project which is to be the official
firewalling, masquerading and NAT implementation in the upcoming 2.4
kernel is producing a number of HOWTOs to reflect the change.

	Can I ask that those reponsible for the previous HOWTOs covering
these subjects get together with those writing the new so a great resource
may be produced and included in the LDP for this important Linux facility?

	Paul
