Hi Darren,

My daily job consumes a lot of my time, otherwise I would gladly start
putting some time in ipfilter.

I am not *THAT* acquainted with every aspect of the ipfilter source
tree, but that's the least of the problems as I can quickly learn how it
all fits together.  The _only_ problem is ENOTIME, so I don't think I
can do a better job that you already do...

If I *can* help with anything though (i.e. test building and/or runtime,
performance or other tests of patches), please let me know.

Having said that, I want to thank you for the effort you do to keep
ipfilter up to date.  I use ipfilter every day, both on FreeBSD and
Solaris systems.

Just "thanks" :-)
