Does someone have any idea what approach to take for the following scenario? I'm leaning towards a compile time failure, or an informative panic at the beginning of bootp... You have IPFIREWALL, but not the default to accept option, and you have BOOTP. The BOOTP stuff will fail in sosend with EACCESS (informatively printed as "13"), because of IPFW, and this may be slightly non-obvious to people who haven't dealt with early ipfw interference before. If not compile time failure / panic, I'd say probably we want some way to notify a user in general of ipfw stopping pre-init operation, but I don't want to add the concept of runlevels, and don't know if there's anything there currently to do detection of if we've hit that point yet. Thanx, juli. -- juli mallett <jmallett@landmarknetworks.com>
