It's only truly associative with the socket itself, if you think about it.

Yes, I think I'll clean up ipfw :) Parts of it are due for a rewrite, as the code has grown unwieldly. > > cheers > luigi > -----------------------------------+------------------------------------- > Luigi RIZZO, luigi@iet.unipi.it .
