Description Marshall McMullen 2009-11-06 23:15:40 UTC

fwknop is a great firewall/security tool that allows single packet authorization on random ports to open up temporary access from a specified ip address through a firewall onto a specific service (e.g. SSH). It's like port knocking (ala knockd) but far more secure and less prone to piggy backing onto newly opened port.

Reproducible: Always

Proposed ebuild.

This is a proposed ebuild for net-firewall/fwknop-1.9.12. It's modeled after the ebuild for net-firewall/psad that is already in portage. Both programs have some overlap in perl dependencies installed, so that would probably need to be fixed...

Comment 2 Marshall McMullen 2009-11-08 03:24:23 UTC

Guess there's already a bug request for a new ebuild for this -- Bug 178546. However, this one I opened has a suggested ebuild patterned after psad that is already in portage.

Comment 3 Sebastian Luther (few) 2009-11-09 10:53:55 UTC

Please attach your ebuild to the original request.
