I wouldn't mind if arptables_jf became the version used by all distros, but I'll maintain my own version as long as it's used. On my laptop arptables_jf version 0.0.8 segfaults with -L (built from sources). I'll remove the -o -g stuff in ebtables' and arptables' Makefiles :-) cheers, Bart -- Bart De Schuymer www.artinalgorithms.be
