|
|
|
<P>The <CODE>ipfwadm-wrapper</CODE> shell script should be a plug-in replacement of
|
|
<CODE>ipfwadm</CODE> for backwards compatibility with ipfwadm 2.3a.
|
|
<P>
|
|
<P>The only feature it can't really handle is the `-V' option. When this
|
|
is used, a warning is given. If the `-W' option is also used, the
|
|
`-V' option is ignored. Otherwise, the script tries to find the
|
|
interface name associated with that address, using <CODE>ifconfig</CODE>. If
|
|
that fails (such as for an interface which is down) then it will exit
|
|
with an error message.
|
|
<P>
|
|
<P>This warning can be suppressed by either changing the `-V' to a `-W',
|
|
or directing the standard output of the script to /dev/null.
|
|
<P>
|
|
<P>If you should find any mistakes in this script, or any changes between
|
|
the real ipfwadm and this script, <EM>please</EM> report a bug to me: send
|
|
an EMail to rusty@linuxcare.com with "BUG-REPORT" in the subject.
|
|
Please list your old version of <CODE>ipfwadm</CODE> (<CODE>ipfwadm -h</CODE>), your
|
|
version of <CODE>ipchains</CODE> (<CODE>ipchains --version</CODE>), the version of the
|
|
ipfwadm wrapper script (<CODE>ipfwadm-wrapper --version</CODE>). Also send the
|
|
output of <CODE>ipchains-save</CODE>. Thanks in advance.
|
|
<P>
|
|
<P>Mix <CODE>ipchains</CODE> with this <CODE>ipfwadm-wrapper</CODE> script at
|
|
your own peril.
|
|
<P>
