However I do not think that this is a problem perse, did you go and ask around on the ipfw@ mailinglist? They have very good clue on the ipfw framework and might tell you what the problem is and whether this should be fixed by using the PR system or whether it was only you making a typo or something, this is important to not overload the ticketing system with potentially things that are not problems but user typo's (which ofcourse can occur, we all have that :-)) Thanks, Remko -- Kind regards, Remko Lodder ** remko@elvandar.org FreeBSD ** remko@FreeBSD.org /* Quis custodiet ipsos custodes */
