Great idea!  I did this, but now my problem is that I don't know how to
interpret the output, or what I should do about what I see.

There are only two entries in the log file, repeated 50 times each,
before the logger stops for that rule. The entries read:

Apr 28 21:13:15 hostname /kernel: ipfw: 63000 Deny UDP 0.0.0.0:68
255.255.255.255:67 in via ed2
Apr 28 21:13:15 hostname /kernel: ipfw: 63000 Deny UDP 123.456.78.123:68
255.255.255.255:67 in via ed2
Apr 28 21:13:15 hostname /kernel: ipfw: limit reached on rule #63000

I don't really know what this means, but I tried adding the following
rules in the appropriate place in the rule set, but they did not work.
Assume that my IP address is 111.111.111.111:

ipfw add allow udp from 0.0.0.0 to 111.111.111.111 in via ed2
ipfw add allow udp from 123.456.78.123 to 111.111.111.111 in via ed2

Any thoughts?

Thanks,
Christoff.
