Oh, most definitely yes. I was assuming Martin (the OP) knew this since he clearly had gone to the trouble of writing custom rules, and that the problem was just one of successful integration. I only use the stock rc.firewall for basic testing, training and POC work, otherwise I do something like this: > cp rc.firewall custom.ipfw, edit to your needs and use > firewall_type="/etc/custom.ipfw" And having glanced at the handbook just now, I believe that I flubbed that assertion above, and the proper use is firewall_script="/etc/custom.ipfw" with firewall_type being used to select from within a multi-mode case structure such as rc.firewall has. Sorry, it's been a long while since I actually edited any part of my firewall rules (love that FreeBSD stability ;). -- Greg Barniskis, Computer Systems Integrator South Central Library System (SCLS) Library Interchange Network (LINK) <gregb at scls.lib.wi.us>, (608) 266-6348
