Now I want a real firewall. Good Luck. Here is one book I think everyone needs next to their coffee cup. "TCP/IP Network Administration", 2nd Ed., Craig Hunt, published by O'Reilly, ISBN:1-56592-322-7 While not ipfw, it does cover alot of "stuff" that helps (me) understand everything else. I won't cover what is inside the book, however, www.oreilly.com does. Right now I am reading, http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=ipfw&sektion=8&apropos=0&manpath=FreeBSD+3.4-RELEASE Yikes! Is that string long enough. And I need to reread this,"Building a Firewall Using FreeBSD", http://www.hut.fi/~kuparine/papers/firewall/firewall.html I have build a new 3.4 kernel now, good luck. -d -- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
