iptables keeps packet and byte counters for each rule, and these can be quite useful for various purposes. Unfortunately, when ferm applies its ruleset, all the counters get zeroed. iptables does allow counters to be restored for each rule. Mightn't it be possible then that ferm upon flushing the rules saves all the counters and then tries to restore them for each rule for which a counter was previously known? I could imagine this to be as simple as hashing the rule, storing the counters against this hash, and upon restore, setting counters for all rules for which a hash can be found. Thanks for your consideration,
Control: tags -1 help thanks With ferm's upstream development having slowed down, it is unlikely that Upstream would implement this. And I don't want to flood the upstream issue tracker with wishlist requests. If this is still important for you, please consider filing an upstream request yourself. A patch implementing this would be appreciated. Therefore tagging this bug "help". Greetings Marc
