| 1 | Hi, |
| 2 | |
| 3 | The current behaviour of a default Gentoo install is to load iptables |
| 4 | after the network has been initialised. Upon shutting down likewise |
| 5 | iptables is shutdown then the network interface. This strikes me as |
| 6 | presenting a window of opportunity when the computer is exposed without |
| 7 | iptables, albeit a small one. |
| 8 | |
| 9 | Do people on this list think there is any value in re-arranging this |
| 10 | order by default? |
