Re: Small (but helpful!) request for GNAT Box

[John Ross <jross_at_gta_dot_com>]

Larry-

In version 3.0 one of the new features was the ability to group filters as 
you had suggested.  We refer to this feature as Network Objects.  As for 
grouping aliases, we don't really see why these would need to be 
grouped.  Grouping tunnels may one day be an option, but not any time soon.

As for your other suggestion about a time limit on filters.  Although this 
might be useful for some people, in the mean time simply paying attention 
and deleting the filters manually isn't that difficult.  How often would 
you be using time based filters?  You would have to go to the firewall to 
add the timed filter each time you wanted to use it anyway, why not just 
log on a second time to delete it?

We appreciate our user's suggestions.  We read them all.  Please keep in 
mind that making changes to any program, no matter how small the change 
seems to be, might require a considerable about of time to develop.  Our 
efforts right now are focused on many things that will end up making life 
much easier for our users.
