A package was submitted to savannah.nongnu.org
This mail was sent to address@hidden, address@hidden
Eric Leblond <address@hidden> described the package as follows:
License: gpl
Other License:
Package: NuFW
System name: nufw
Type: non-GNU
Description:
NuFW is designed to be an "authenticating gateway". This means it will require
authentication for any connection to be forwarded through the gateway. It
requires a "client/server" model and an authentication program on every client.
That will provide authentication for ANY protocol as long as its TCP/IP.
It lays on any good connection tracking IP filtering code (or it will). For now
our first implementation will run on Netfilter, the filtering package from
Linux 2.4.
Any [legitimate] user of a network will be referenced in a "database" (probably
an LDAP tree), as well as their access rights.
It will be gateway's work to check any packet that is accepted through the
gateway is bound to an authentified user, and that this user has the rights for
that access at that time.

Other Software Required:
glib-2.0
libipq
netfilter
openldap
Other Comments:
The project was originaly named gnufw. To avoid confusion has it is not part of
the GNU project, it will be renamed Nufw when importing sources into the
savannah CVS. For the moment, the source keep trace of the previous name.
