In my case i have a 5th network interface on my internal networks for management, but if security was THAT much of an issue i could shut the interface off. i just can't see a good use for such a firewall in runlevel 0. nate To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
