Request: ipset Summary: A pgm to set the list of ip ranges used in iptables/ipmodules URL: http://ipset.netfilter.org/ Why not in RPM Fusion: This really should go with where ever iptables and ip_modules are packaged. IP set's are created and used as a filter in the iptable/firewall system. in 2006 there was a request to include the patches to make this work. The issue was deferred/closed because it was claimed to have too many patches(?). I was, and continue to use ipset within the iptables framework since FC4.
