In trying to resolve puzzling behavior on a "new" FreeBSD box (2.2.7-STABLE, cvsup as of 980929), it appears that the behavior of the SkipTo rules in ipfw/kernel have changed. Previously a rule such as 2200 skipto 3000 all from 127.0.0.1 to 127.0.0.1 recv lo0 in would "skipto" the next-higher numbered rule in the list if 3000 did not exist. This build seems to require that a rule 3000 explicitly exist. If it does not exist, it proceeds as if rule 2200 is not matched. Is this an "intentional" change in the firewall code? If not, has a later release changed back to the older behavior? Jeff To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
