Hi, I'm a little bit confused about the purpose of ip6fw(8). The manual page suggests that the standard ipfw(8) supports both IPv4 and IPv6, so why is there a seperate ip6fw? Can it do anything that ipfw can't do? Best regards Oliver -- Oliver Fromme, secnetix GmbH & Co. KG, Marktplatz 29, 85567 Grafing b. M.
