The way I am doing it is to make varying, seperate ipf.rules files and install them from cron at the appropriate time. Problem is, if I make a change to one file, I generally have to update all the others accordingly. Is there a better way? I have read man ipf but didnt come out with any ideas. -- -- Bryan bc3910 'at' gmail 'dot' com
