If the kernel was not built with IPFIREWALL, the ipfw ker- nel module will be loaded. See also ipfilter_enable. sounds like it does what it's supposed to. it might be named funny, and might have a misleading comment in the default config file, it does do what the man page says (although others have said the config file doesn't qualify as documentation...) -Justin White [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://justinfinity.2y.net/ AIM:just6979 To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
