You could have rules to send the packets to divert sockets (as is done for NAT), and write a program to respond to them. See divert(4) and natd(8). It would be easier to use the keyboard leds (KDSETLED ioctl) than the disk and power leds, I think. -- Richard To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
