The following reply was made to PR conf/15010; it has been noted by GNATS. From: Bill Trost <trost@cloud.rain.com> To: Maxim Konovalov <maxim@macomnet.ru> Cc: bug-followup@freebsd.org Subject: Re: conf/15010 Date: Sat, 15 Apr 2006 07:31:48 -0700 Maxim Konovalov writes: If you still interested in the PR could you please update the patch you want to see in FreeBSD. The one is the PR is not correct as David explains. Thanks! Wow, these bugs live forever.... Let's see, my suggestion included the line $fwcmd add pass all from 255.255.255.255 to $ip via $ip on the theory that limited broadcast should be permitted. David correctly points out that the broadcast address as the source is always wrong. Whoops. OK, so what I think it really should say is $fwcmd add pass all from ${net}:$mask to 255.255.255.255 via $ip Does that seem plausible? Bill
