    As of pre2.0.6 (aka 1.99.6), mixed-style file locking is no longer
 allowed.  For example, a file cannot be simultaneously locked with

 IP Firewalls
 ============
 
    The IP firewall code has been changed drastically during 1.3.x.
 There are now 3 categories of firewall rules: one for incoming packets,
-one for outgoing packets, and one for packets being forwarded.
