Hi

I am following this thread with mixed feelings of weirdness and
admiration ...

there are always two ways to reach a far point, it's left around or
right around the world, depending on your position one of the ways is
always the longer one. I can understand that some without hurry and
money issues chose the longer one, perhaps also because of more chance
for adventurous happenings, unknown and the unexpected

so know I explained in a similar long way what I do not understand, why
would you make such a complicated out of scope code, slow, certainly
dangerous ... if at least it would be perl, but bash calling external
prog and grepping, whow ... when you can solve it with a line of code ?

this task would fit pf or ipfw much better, would be more elegant and
zillions times faster and secure, not speaking about time investment,
how much time you need to write 5/6 keywords of code?

or is it for demonstration purpose, showing it as an alternative
possibility?
