Seems there was a little problem with the Livingston filter that I posted

---------- fragment of message ----------

I have to stand somewhat corrected.

>Contents:
>three lines for each net block you have:

The more appropriate format would be:
	permit 1.2.3.4/20 0.0.0.0/0 tcp
	permit 1.2.3.4/20 0.0.0.0/0 udp
	permit 1.2.3.4/20 0.0.0.0/0 icmp

You are *supposed* to use a src/dest netblock pair, though I have
set up and used w/o a dest address and it worked.

>final line to log (optional) MUST COME AFTER permit list for netblocks:
>	deny log

If you choose not to log, then you need a line:
	deny

Otherwise that which falls through isn't denied, obviously.
