My previous posting on Jan 19th to 'questions' probably got lost (my message 
is not in the www.freebsd.org mail archives)

I'm using 2.0.5R and I tried to use IP Accounting without any success.

Can anyone explain one possible cause for the following error:

  ~> ipfw adda bidirectional all from 0/0 to 0/0 via 194.21.207.250
  ipfw: setsockopt failed.
  ~> ipfw adda single all from 194.21.207.254 to 194.20.20.15 via 
194.20.20.37
  ipfw: setsockopt failed.

Of course my kernel config contains:

     options         IPFIREWALL              #firewall
     options         IPFIREWALL_VERBOSE      #.....
     options         IPACCT                  #Accounting

Is there something more to setup before trying the ipfw command ? The man 
page is rather sparse if you are not yet experienced with this topic.

The mail archives report rumours about IPACCT brokenness in 2.0.5R: is that 
true ?

Thanks in advance.
