So John, exactly what is CentOS specific? Should I only read the emails with release speculation?
things related to the packaging, repos. at least stuff thats EL3/4/5/6 related.
otherwise, the mission creep on this list turns it into a free for all.
hey I'm having problems with my set-top tv box, and it runs linux inside, and centos is linux, can you guys ....?
no, I don't think so.
now, in reference to the OP's issues, a centos/el specific question might be how to package iptables commands within the standard EL /etc tree and work with the existing firewall scripts, or where to put ip rule/route commands (where SHOULD you put those, anyways? I dunno. mine end up in /etc/rc.d/rc.firewall which is invoked from rc.local and I *know* thats sloppy as heck).
Even after this explanation I don't understand your objection to helping someone with a firewall and routing issue on a CentOS box. You might have a point if the executables didn't come from packages in the canonical CentOS repo.
