Perhaps an easier way is to use the exit status of pfctl, which will be 0 on match, 2 if no match: # pfctl -t foo -Tadd 10.1.1.1 1 table created. 1/1 addresses added. # pfctl -t foo -Ttest 10.1.1.1; echo status $? 1/1 addresses match. status 0 # pfctl -t foo -Ttest 10.1.1.2; echo status $? 0/1 addresses match. status 2 -- Darrin Chandler | Phoenix BSD User Group | MetaBUG [EMAIL PROTECTED] | http://phxbug.org/ | http://metabug.org/ http://www.stilyagin.com/ | Daemons in the Desert | Global BUG Federation
