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.
