Subject: Complaint - pid-owner Support Removed (CONFIG_NETFILTER_XT_MATCH_OWNER)
Date: Mon, 30 Jul 2012 21:22:10 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <5016DEE2.1060900@gmx.de> (raw)

Hello,

i want to complain about the removal of the --pid-owner Support for 
iptables.

As far as i understand it this support was just removed without replacement.

I would have expected, that if anything you would have improved the 
support for pid's and especially for desktop firewalls.

But it seems that some rumors, like you only care for 'big iron' are not 
that easily dismissed.

I would encourage you to at least try to keep up with essential feature 
support, especially when it comes to desktop firewalls (for example 
zonealarm).

I believe focusing on server infrastucture while abandoning desktop 
infrastructure will not do much good in mid and long term.



Sincerly


Christian Schmid
