Future enhancements to Fwctl
----------------------------
- Add possibility to log only connection initialization packet.
- Add support for transparent proxy.
- Add a bidirectional option ?
- Redesign using a an abstract representation of rules and
allow driver to generate rules for different packet filters
(ipfwadm, ipchains, iptable, Cisco, etc.)
- Find a way to customize the install
to handle the sbin et config file installation.
- Automatic way to test the firewall.
- User space daemon to do IDS and stateful filtering
using the fwmonitor device.
(This will probably wait for new netfilters module)
- Have a way to generate all the rules without setting them,
to retrieve the current settings and determine what need
to be changed rather, than the actual tear down, rebuild.
