Don't worry about it, assuming you've got the IPFIREWALL option in your kernel. It's normal since the ipfw program is also trying to list the accounting records. If you don't have the IPFIREWALL option in your kernel, add it and rebuild your kernel. You may also want the 'IPFIREWALL_VERBOSE' option to your kernel if you want to use the log or ldeny options in your firewall. Without that option, the code won't log anything so you won't see the rejects and such. Nate
