Umm you are thinking of -current maybe? :) or my -stable must have had an, errm, interesting problem for quite a while now... actually no (thanks cvs :), looks like current is also affected: struct ip_fw has been extended and when the old ipfw(8) now tries to add an entry it says, ip_fw_ctl: len=64, want 100 (hmm i havent looked but maybe the kernel part could be changed to accept both versions?) > > Alex cheers, Juergen (who just wanted to get a little warning out...)
