Hi guys, a user(Sven-Hendrik Haase) brought to my attention that firestarter has issues (memleaks). Well there are apparently some patches available somewhere .... but - last release was Jan 29th, 2005 (yes that means 4 years) - there seems no activity in the project - it deals with iptables and the kernel (which has changed quite a bit over the last 4 years :P ) and is somewhat crucial to system security - in this state, I don't feel like fixing it(I don't maintain it anymore anyway) but I do consider it a security issue Proposal to fix: Let's get riddence of it. Opinions? -T
