IPFW barfs on a SIG 11. What exactly do you mean by this? When you transmit files across the network, you get a sig 11? Or when you try to start the IPFW program at the command line, it sig 11s? The former would worry me. The latter wouldn't. The ipfw firewall code is built into the kernel, but the ipfw command line program that is used to create/manipulate ipfw rules is part of buildworld. It's not unusual for programs that interface directly with the kernel not to work when you're mid-way through the process (i.e. new kernel but old world). I'm guessing what's happening is that the ipfw program can't communicate to ipfw in the kernel and when your startup scrips try to run it, it sig 11s. Thus you end up with ipfw running with no rules, set to deny by default, thus you get no network capbility. > Assuming that it is loading ok at boot, can I properly assume that this > will be repaired when I installworld? If the scenerio I described above seems to fit, yes. Sounds like things are going well. If you want to be REAL paranoid, you could try rebuilding your kernel with IFPW_DEFAULT_ACCEPT (or whatever that option is) and make sure you have network connectivity before continuing. I wouldn't bother if it were me. It sounds like things are going well. The main thing you're looking for is that the new kernel actually BOOTs. Drop to single-user mode and do the installworld. -- Bill Moran Potential Technologies http://www.potentialtech.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
