If I might suggest, you probably want to use a compiled language like C.<br>
The GLib C framework is probably a good approach, especially with its<br>
excellent glib-dbus integration.<br></blockquote><div><br>I agree a long running daemon would best be written in C, perhaps pyGtk would be good enough for only the GUI config dialogs. I will start a request for a fedorahosted project, then I'll work on recruiting developers yes. <br>
<br>So this is what we have, the C deamon (fired :) is going to:<br>- Listen for port listen events (new ports listening)<br>- Control opening/closing of iptables via RTNETLINK<br>- Expose the functionality over dbus<br><br>
The GUI component will:<br>- Be a NetworkManager style applet, but will only be started once "fired" decides to, it should not be running 24x7<br>- Configure which ports will be opened, and on which condition they will be closed<br>
<br>Although NAT-PMP was mentioned, I'm not exactly sure how it fits in this picture. Isn't this designed to open ports on routers ?<br><br>Regards<br></div></div></div>
