What happens when I insert new rules ? I have to write a script to renumber them ? can't this be included in the ipfw itself for example by specifying a incremental step number for exemple ipfw -q flush -i [step] ipfw -q flush -i 10 in this manner no big changes to the rc.firewall or firewall rules files would be needed and everyone would be happy. > There is alot of magic you can do in userland rather than > relying on the kernel to cope with all sorts of different > user requirements... > > cheers > luigi > -- =============================================================== Christophe Prevotaux Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] HEXANET SARL URL: http://www.hexanet.fr/ Z.A.C Les Charmilles Tel: +33 (0)3 26 79 30 05 3 Allée Thierry Sabine Direct: +33 (0)3 26 79 08 02 BP202 Fax: +33 (0)3 26 79 30 06 51686 Reims Cedex 2 FRANCE HEXANET Network Operation Center =============================================================== To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-net" in the body of the message
