I have a correction to my last comment. I looked up the rc.conf setting for firewall=open and I think you can ignore it. It appears that I actually am using the wrong variable name. In the LINT kernel example config file you will find and explanation for it. Here is it. # WARNING: IPFIREWALL defaults to a policy of "deny ip from any to any" # and if you do not add other rules during startup to allow access, # YOU WILL LOCK YOURSELF OUT. It is suggested that you set firewall_type=open # in /etc/rc.conf when first enabling this feature, then refining the # firewall rules in /etc/rc.firewall after you've tested that the new kernel # feature works properly. I must have had a typo when setting this up but it still worked. I was just being cautious without any real good reason. I am guessing that /etc/rc.firewall set up the rules just right for me so that it would work. Since it worked for me right away I did not spend any more time with it. I am now trying to learn more about it now. Brennan Stehling - web developer and sys admin projects: www.onmilwaukee.com | www.sncalumni.com fortune: Eggheads unite!
