shaperd for debian
------------------

This is a user-mode traffic shaper, which I found very-very useful. And it is
easy to configure (not like the undocumented kernel things).

Step-by-step:
1. Make a configuration file in /etc/shaperd/shaperd.conf (from the examples)
2. /etc/init.d/shaperd start
3. iptables -A [INPUT|OUTPUT] [rules...] -j QUEUE
4. Test
5. Put the iptables rules to the /etc/shaperd/up.d and /etc/shaperd/down.d 
   files (as shell scripts)
6. Enjoy your ssh which is now working while you're downloading big files!
7. Send a letter to Leandro Santi <lsanti@fi.uba.ar> ;)
8. If you liked that it is in debian send a letter to risko@debian.org
