Please let me know what is the > firewall service in FreeBSD. There are two builtin firewall options - both of which won't be enabled unless you've told them to be in /etc/rc.conf: # for ipfw firewall_enable="YES" if the above is true: `ipfw disable firewall' or `ipfw -f flush' # for ipf pf_enable="YES" see `man ipf' the default options are to disable: /etc/defaults/rc.conf For more info: 1) man ipf[w] 2) http://freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook [specifically --> Section 14 [security] --> firewalls] 3) google helps me too when the above two aren't verbose enough. with regards, -- LD
