If you can point me at a page that even remotely describes what the current rc.firewall rules are doing, then I'll happily update it. However, I'm not going to write one from scratch just for the privilege of fixing the default installation. I've already fixed my machines... For the rest of the world, I'll waste what time I can afford. For the sake of everyone else's sanity, I'll submit the diffs to you off-line. cheers, Adam -- sig? wossat?
