Thanks for responding to my question. Sorry about the html encoding. I
just upgraded my email client and it changed my defaults. Got it fixed.
Thank you for the information about the /var/db/dhclient.leases. I think
that is the key. Now, If anyone knows how to parse this file and use it as
input to the values I can uses it as input to the rc.firewall.
I did as much research as I could on dhclient and there did not appear to be
a query form of the command to return the network, ip, or subnet mask.
These are the precise values I need for the rc.firewall.
It looks like the values in dhclient.leases are encapsulated in brackets {}
and the modifier "lease".
As you might guess, I am not a big shell script afficianado. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Mike Gruver
