Unfortunately I severely hate the fact that I almost always (during migration) lock myself out of the machine (conveniently located 30 miles away) and have to logon to the console to throw in my rc.ipfw and the lines in the rc.local... But *that* is a user problem... I don't want to 'default accept all' in my kernel either.. or IPFW_DEFAULT_TO_ACCEPT or whatever option it is.. But hey, I can only allow certain ports and things like that, which makes it rather flexible. We're still looking into the SonicWall products as well, specifically that of the Plus DMZ variety.. if anyone has any comments on that though, let me know before I fork over the 1700 bucks.. > >So, if you don't like what ALTQ looks like, re-write it.
