I just gave up on Guarddog - I've used it for years, but I'm getting too
many rules for odd ports (and some that aren't so odd, but aren't in it's
tables), and it generates _really_ complicated iptables rules.

What would really help guarddog, would be a an option to enter a port
number, and have it expand the list in the right place.  For anything
obscure, you have to work with a display of /etc/services open in another
window at the same time :-)
