It's not installed I had to compile it from /usr/src/sbin/sysctl. Anyways everything is working already. The box is intercepting HTTP requests and piping it to my proxy server running squid. All internet services on my workstations are running also (their gateway is the freebsd box). I would like to thank the people in this list who helped me in this transparent proxy thing....specially Doug, Cristoph and cjclark! Thanks a lot!!! I guess I have to give up my old crappy linux box :) Till the next problem I will encounter. :) --------------------------- Joel N.
