Look at ipfw.c (userland also) men... That's the place to optimize and re-write everything from scratch. And jail.c is just small wrapper for system call. It doesn't worth all these time we've already spent discussing to call or not to call just one more function. This is my own humble (or not too) opinion. -- Igor mailto:poige@morning.ru To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
