Unused? I 'm afraid that I don't quite understand you... How does it affect ipfw functionality?

You know, I am the real ipfw newbie, but I am using pipes during about 5 months. I do ipfw flush quite often (I like to play with that tool :)) , but never did "ipfw pipe delete", and never noticed nothing strange in pipe behavior. Now I am quite confused? Are you sure, that doing "ipfw flush" does not delete the pipes? May be FreeBSD guys should add "ipfw pipe delete" line to standart /etc/rc.firewall, just before the "ipfw flush"? IMHO this will save many newbies from confusion ;) Good luck JB> To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org JB> with "unsubscribe freebsd-security" in the body of the message ;------------------------------------------- ; NKritsky ; SysAdmin InternetHelp.Ru ; http://www.internethelp.ru ; mailto:nkritsky@internethelp.ru To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-security" in the body of the message
