I'm still waiting for the first copy of the book to arrive, hence the delay.=20 I still have a few things to add to get up to 2.6.18 standards, but I got (hopefully) 1-2 weeks before my personal deadline for the project.=20 Would anyone care to give any suggestions on things that are either more important than the ones in the listed TODO, or that you believe should be included?=20 Also, the book will be 'perfect bound' hard-cover, 9x6", and right now is closing in on 400 pages, and that's where I hope it will stop for now :-). The page count can go up/down pending any layout changes however. It will run at 33-35 USD + shipping per copy.=20 Sidenote, the current french translation seems to be done directly from the chunky html source, as noted in the TODO. Would anyone be willing to make a change of this? Also, basically all the translations needs to be updated if anyone feels inclined... The current changelog looks as follows:=20 1.2.2 * Added SCTP match. * Added addrtype match. * Added link to policy routing using linux by Matthew G. Marsh. * Added some internal links for better cross linking. * Added comment match. * Added hashlimit match. * Added new --cmd-owner to owner match. * Added realm match. * Added important.gif image sign. * Fixed --limit-burst, bad explanation. * Fixed s/package/packet/ in MARK target. ("G.W. Haywood" ) * Added raw table in traversing_of_tables_and_chains.sgml * Updated tables_traverse.gif with raw table and switched fonts. * Added UNTRACKED and new untracked connections section in statemachine.sgml. * Removed internal catalogs etc, living off of local ones instead. * Added SCTP characteristics section to tcp_ip_repetition.sgml * Added all images for the SCTP chapters. * Remade all header images from the tcp_ip_repetition.sgml chapter. * Added SCTP headers section in the tcp_ip_repetition.sgml chapter. My TODO for the tutorial looks like this: * nf-log?? * Add all new targets in 2.6 kernel and iptables-1.3.6. -- CLUSTERIP -- CONNMARK -- CONNSECMARK? -- SECMARK? -- NOTRACK -- NFQUEUE? * Remake flow images (Basically all images except header images). * Add section about VPN and iptables (ie, private incoming traffic to netfilter box with public iface and vpn iface on top). including routing. nat'ed ipsec, openvpn. filtering ipsec, openvpn. * French translation needs to be done in DocBook SGML, please? Should fix problem with wrong charset encoding. * Improve explanation of chain traversal. Add explanation of user defined chains. * Create index. --=20 -- Oskar Andreasson http://www.frozentux.net mail/sip: oan@frozentux.net icq: 33147668 msn: allostra@hotmail.com --=-CkHj5zM+jQNF241ZUvFJ Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQBFN6XDGadwPDPpB60RAs1hAKCIongPaos0zC7SRPSJrEnxrt0pkQCg4t0d XcGmYNBsoPHHAIWrT75dV18= =e8d1 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-CkHj5zM+jQNF241ZUvFJ--
