Hi, 

I was thinking about to write a module to match outbound packets against
stat (file of filesystem status) information. One might find device and
inode information usefull.

Usage might be something like
$ iptables -A OUTPUT -m stat --device 303 --inode 341166 -j ACCEPT

Anyway, I thought to ask if you have any suggestions, thoughts,
opinions, etc. about this. I might find them helpfull :)

I have about 400 hours to spend on this. So how does it sound?
