Also, just a note about a prior post, we were not able to get our perl IPFW script to run out of rc.conf with the firewall_script directive. Is it safe to load it out of rc.d startup directory, or should this be avoided? Tks, -- Steve Bertrand President/CTO, Northumberland Network Services t: 905.352.2688 w: www.northnetworks.ca
