It's great, and I'd like to just leave it running. However: At 2am. daily/periodical runs and ipfw denies packets which seem to come from the IP previously dynamically assigned to me eg: ipfw: 65435 Deny UDP 212.188.144.220:1026 212.49.224.1:53 out via tun0 ppp is in auto mode and the modem dials up at about the same time. I've rem'd the netstat -i line in /etc/periodic/daily/420.status-network I don't really want to disable sendmail (if it is the culprit), so is there another way? I can see how useful this would be for remote administration, but I don't need it in my situation. Thanks again. John.
