Strange that it suddenly stopped working from inside rc.firewall.. I even tried disabling pretty much everything from rc.conf except for the pertinent firewall lines, and it still wouldn't execute any of my firewall commands. Oh well, at least it's working now.. If anyone has any other suggestions of what to try, please let me know, otherwise I'll just leave it at that. Thanks, Mike
