[chef] Re: Re: iptables and ebtables

There's `iptables` cookbook too - a bit clunky, but gets the job done for me most of the time. If I need to use other table than `filter', then I have to resort to ugly hacks. Don't even ask what has to happen if more than one cookbook needs to update the `nat' table.

If/when I have some meaningful amount of free cycles, I've planned to work on something nicer to use - data-driven, with LWRPs, not requiring having a freaking *template* for every rule, and supporting other tables. Michael - if you happen to start working on it, let me know, we may join our forces.

We don't have current plans for ebtables but integration support to provide that would be great contribution.

I have a need for a cookbook to manage iptables and ebtables. I've been using simple_iptables for starters, but the maintainer is no longer answering and it doesn't support ebtables. The Opscode Firewall cookbook so far only supports UFW.

Are there plans to add support for iptables/ebtables to the Opscode Firewall cookbook, and if so when? If not I may be able to work on it. Also open to other options.

cheers
