I don't like rebooting to fix problems but I had to move the firewall in its rack and hey, after it rebooted the "stuck" entries were pruned. I have no idea what caused it. Haven't seen it before and I rarely change anything much on a firewall except when running up a new version of the OS. Add a whitelist entry to a textfile sometimes to deal with server pools but that is not drastic. Oh well a mystery it shall remain. >From the land "down under": Australia. Do we look <umop apisdn> from up over? Do NOT CC me - I am subscribed to the list. Replies to the sender address will fail except from the list-server. Your IP address will also be greytrapped for 24 hours after any attempt. I am continually amazed by the people who run OpenBSD who don't take this advice. I always expected a smarter class. I guess not.
