Patrick: I truly believe you started a good thread that has certainly
gained attention to something I suspect will be treated some day and no
doubt -current is the place to start it.

I never got into trouble with a lock out with this issue, but was just
lucky methinks.... I certainly was doing a degree of guessing initially
with the rc after compiling FW into the kernel. But, I set the rc to "open"
figuring that would at least keep letting me in while tweaking the rules...

Sure those that already know what it does have no problem one way or
another, but many more newbies are lined up at the gate.... so who should
be bothered the oldies or the newbies...? Wasn't everyone a newbie at some
time...? (I didn't mean you JC!)
