In 2.2.5 the format of the rc.conf file changed in several places. The following are the firewall related options in 2.2.5-Stable: firewall_enable="YES" firewall_type="client" firewall_quiet="NO" All of these options are case sensitive, so be careful to match the type of firewall with the corresponding text in rc.firewall. I think that you will probably have more problems than just this one if you copied your rc.conf file directly to the new system. You might want to download the src files for /etc from the ftp site and diff them with what you have to be on the safe side. -- *** Chief Operations Officer, DALnet IRC network *** *** Proud operator, designer and maintainer of the world's largest *** Internet Relay Chat server. 5,328 clients and still growing. *** Try spider.dal.net on ports 6662-4 (Powered by FreeBSD) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
