Thanks to all who replied, lots of food for thought! Maybe my setup is a little different than what people use because I have different rule sets in /etc/rc.firewall (which is the default with OPEN, SIMPLE and CLIENT) and one of them is configured in /etc/rc.conf. So my question is how I change from one rule set to another that is defined in rc.firewall. The problem should simply be how to pass the parameter (and to what) because sh /etc/rc.firewall OPEN does not work, this simply reloads the same rule set that's defined in /etc/rc.conf. Good advice against lock-outs though. Is generally the preferred approach to use different files for different rules, rather than keep sets in /etc/rc.firewall? And if so, how do you set this up in /etc/rc.conf, since the firewall type by default looks at rc.firewall... _________________________________________________________________ The new MSN 8: smart spam protection and 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/junkmail
