Otherwise the wording has to be revised (made > more precise) and ipfw fixed. Curious. I checked the original (Lite-1) implementation, and it appears to agree with you. I still think the semantics are bogus in this regard, but will bow to tradition. (SunOS says the same thing, and it probably inhgerited the behavior from 4.2. A check of the 4.3 source shows similar behavior to that present in Lite-1.) -GAWollman -- Garrett A.
