Honestly. I'm really inclined to agree with Rodney. rcorder should
really be a more fine-grained utility.
What about something like:
BEFORE: NETWORKING: pf
or
BEFORE: NETWORKING: ipfw
or
BEFORE: NETWORKING: unbound
etc, etc...
I think there *may* be a better direction. *But* this, at least
should be an easy direction to add with few repercussions. Yes?
