According to the sysctl(8) manpage, "sysctl -A" will give what you want. But I didn't know about the above until I read jkb's writeup.

If you don't have any need to do remote logins to the gateway, then no. For my particular situation, doing ssh to *and* from my @Home machine is useful. (You probably know this already, but just for completeness, disabling rlogind/telnetd/ftpd won't have any effect on outgoing services from your FreeBSD box to other machines.)
