I compiled the kernel with: options IPFIREWALL options IPDIVERT options IPFIREWALL_VERBOSE options IPFIREWALL_VERBOSE_LIMIT=100 options TCP_DROP_SYNFIN options TCP_RESTRICT_RST options ICMP_BANDLIM Do i need to recompile or can i set something in my natd.conf file? b) How can i change the message which is displayed when people telnet to my fbsd machines? When i was using LINUX i had /etc/issue files, but these don't exist in fbsd (at least not under that location. I asked around, but no one i know knows. It would be useful to stop kiddies on the campus network trying to figure out what version of fbsd i'm using (IIRC nmap says it is 2.x when its actually 4.1). Thanks!
