I just read some things about SIGHUP (didn't know anything about it before). From that it sounds as if you changed the code so that you can 'reload' (as defined in the LSB) the daemon (peerguardnf). So it isn't necessary to restart the daemon when a new blocklist was installed. Am I right with this??? (I hope so because I missed this feature)

Never knew there was a CVS version. Now I can tell you that you're definitely not dumb! I've just downloaded, compiled and installed it.

I'd propose you call your package peerguardnf_1.5CVS-[somenumber]_i386.deb to make it clear you used the CVS code. I think most other people always used the 1.5beta (which was 1-2 months older than the last changes in the CVS).

The file size of /usr/bin/peerguardnf is now 690196 here. Is this normal? 9 times bigger then your version, but still just 2/3 of the binary from the official 1.5beta debian package. Why this big differences?

The changes from 1.5beta to CVS I saw (without looking into the code):
- QUEUE is also put in the FORWARD rule.
- There's a message in the log: 'Deamon forked, pid is 23202' (The typo is not mine )

Last but not least: Good luck with your test
