This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.
Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore. This update would have been
insane otherwise.
pointed out by Rick Robinson. Found and fixed some grammar problems
at the same time.
Note: the reason for avoiding contractions is two-fold:
1) It makes the text easier to understand for people who speak English
as a second language.
2) Expanding the contractions often reveals poorly worded passages.
negated the descriptive sense of "frag" and "-N", which were clearly wrong.
changed instructions (which were bogus in the extreme) for allowing/preventing
outgoing rsh/rlogin, rewording the paragraph so it applies to incoming
connections so it actually both makes sense and tells the truth. It can
be deleted instead if not relevant.
did not change the paragraph about loading multiple rules in one command,
although this operation is now partially supported by loading from a
command file.
I hope I'm not treading on anyone's toes here.
eg: options "SCSI_DELAY=15" should be options SCSI_DELAY=15, as config
knows about the "=" and splits it correctly into key=value for the #defines.
The only options that need quotes are those that have numbers as part of
the actual name, eg: "TUNE_1542" and "COMPAT_IBCS2".
Expand definition of 'established' and 'icmptypes.' Correct examples
which still used the old syntax. Add a pointer to the CERT packet
filtering checklist.
