Hi, Just a question: Is the output from "ipfw list" supposed to be in the same rule format that is accepted as input? If that's the case, then there is a small bug: # ipfw add 100 allow ip from any to '{' 1.1.1.1 or 2.2.2.2 '}' 00100 allow ip from any to '{' 1.1.1.1 or dst-ip 2.2.2.2 '}' # ipfw list 100 00100 allow ip from any to '{' 1.1.1.1 or dst-ip 2.2.2.2 '}' # ipfw add 200 allow ip from any to '{' 1.1.1.1 or dst-ip 2.2.2.2 '}' ipfw: hostname ``dst-ip'' unknown So it inserts the word "dst-ip" in the output when an "or" block is used, but that word isn't accepted as input. I think the output from "ipfw list" should be valid rule format that could be fed back as input to ipfw(8). In fact that's exactly what I need to do in a script that I've written recently, and the "dst-ip" problem bit me. I had to work around it with sed(1).
