The documentation on the other hand, is either not complete (the ipfw man page), or somewhat invalid (the handbook -- Gary's writeup is excellent, but the syntax has changed and new features have been added). If there's anyone to blame for this, it would be me. I've agreed to take the ipfw torch from Poul, but I've only just recently gotten commit privileges. If anyone is interested, I've placed my proposed changes (that I'd originally submitted as PRs) at: http://www.freebsd.org/~alex If anyone wants to take a look at it and give me some feedback, I'd really appreciate it (please keep in mind that it's not complete yet!). I'll probably check this into -current, cleanup the documentation issues, wait a while, and then merge it into -stable. Alex
