Installing an older version of a port

I've never actually done this before, so I'm a little shaky on the details. ffmpeg-0.7.7,1 doesn't work for my purposes: ffserver/ffmpeg aren't communicating all that well- I'm still working out the details, but essentially either or both are borked. I've been working with the ffmpeg list to s

Re: ipfw And ping

You can rate-limit pings and other icmp with sysctl nodes (sysctl net.inet.icmp ) You can make the rule a little more restrictive: add allow icmp from any to any icmptypes 0,3,8,11 if you want to disallow echo requests, omit 8 - the others are essential for most things to work properly or to dia
