I'm running the stock 2.2.7 kernel, no sources are installed on my system (the hard drive is too small). How can I check the options the kernel was compiled with? Secondly, I did think of that, but all of the relevant stuff in the handbook about setting up a firewall seemed to assume that those options were compiled in by default in the generic kernel. It seemed that this was confirmed by the fact that ipfw rules work just fine (I've played around with allowing and denying different hosts quite a bit), and it *appears* that the divert rules work fine as well, at least according to the accounting information displayed by "ipfw show". Any more hints would be much appreciated... -----== Sent via Deja News, The Discussion Network ==----- http://www.dejanews.com/ Easy access to 50,000+ discussion forums To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
