I use ipf for the actual firewall and ipfw for fancy packet rewriting and other nifty ipfw features. I could do everything that I'm doing with the two of them with just ipfw (default firewall), but I really dig ipfstat -t. ;~) Check the archives for more information. -sc -- Sean Chittenden To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
