    Version 1.09 of The P2PWall Project's "FTWall" has been released. This
    version resolves issues with compilation of the code under Fedora Linux.

    "Ftwall" is an OpenSource GPL program for linux firewalls that allows
    the control of network traffic from "Fast Track" peer-to-peer clients
    (like "Kazaa" and it's derivatives).

    It is designed to block network traffic from P2P client applications
    running in the "home" (or "green") network from making access to any
    peers on the public internet. It is ideal for use in networks where the
    security paradigm is "open access" for outbound connections and "tightly
    limited" access for inbound ones. Ftwall can be used in such a network
    to prevent outbound P2P access, hence preventing illegal file downloads
    and uploads.
