I've added rules to allow all my other services but talk is still giving me grief. I know that talkd uses port 517 but even after I've allowed udp through this port I get the following errors. My current firewall option is set to 'client'. >From a remote computer trying to connect to my computer talk will connect but sits at: [Checking for invitation on caller's machine] While on my computer trying to connect to a remote computer I get: [Error on write to talk daemon : Permission denied (13)] Now when I open up my firewall (firewall_type="open" in rc.conf) talk works perfectly. The rules I added to try to allow talk to work were: ipfw add 03310 pass udp from any to 205.150.35.145 517 ipfw add 03410 pass udp from 205.150.35.145 to any 517 Where am I going wrong? -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Dennis Tenn * There will always come a time dstenn@fanfic.org * When your love will be tested ICQ# 1457509 * Stand tall and rise to the occasion * For only then will you grow strong. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
