Description Sebastian Thorarensen 2010-08-15 21:30:07 UTC

Neither knock nor knockd depends on iptables. Still net-firewall/iptables is listed as an RDEPEND in the ebuild for net-misc/knock-0.5.

Iptables is only needed when you run knockd with the example configuration.

I see your point, You can use knockd to trigger other operations like /sbin/halt on a given sequence instead of running iptables. But iptables certainly is the default usage. IUSE minimal?
