How do I do that? hint: sysctl -a | grep ip.fw for logging do: sysctl -w net.inet.ip.fw.verbose: 1 sysctl -w net.inet.ip.fw.verbose_limit: 5 see also man ipfw, it will answer your questions. > How would I get that line to show divert as being enabled?

AFAIK recompile with IPFW_DEFAUL_TO_ACCEPT, but it would be a bad thing. > > Feb 27 14:37:22 peter kernel: ipfw2 initialized, divert disabled, > rule-based forwarding enabled, default to deny, logging disabled > > -ste > > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to > "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" > > > !DSPAM:403faf7e32055386612425! > > -- IOnut Unregistered ;) FreeBSD user
