I'd certainly like to have it up as an article, and possibly include parts of it that are good enough into the handbook? It all depends on how you feel? The feedback from the FreeBSD-security list has been limited to personal replies to me, but have all been very positive, so I dont think there's anything _too_ wrong with the document, besides the fact that it still needs some work in my eyes. > All of our documentation is maintained in DocBook SGML.

The article 'Dialup firewalling with FreeBSD' was written by me about a year ago, and was converted from HTML to Docbook by Nik Clayton for me if I recall correctly, and I have maintained it since by sending changes I've made to the document in the form of patches with 'send-pr'. My Docbook knowledge isn't strong enough for me to start this document from scratch, but if someone could convert it to Docbook, I could certainly learn try and learn some Docbook in that time, and could maintain and develop the document in the future. > http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/fdp-primer/ Thanks...
