At this point, freebsd-questions is my recommendation for a default place to post questions about FreeBSD and using it; perhaps we should consider re-wording the "charter" for -questions to be less intimidating. Naturally, you should be prepared to redirect a message thread to a more appropriate (likely, more focused) list -- e.g., if you have a question about a specific use of IPFW, the freebsd-ipfw list wouold likely be better than -questions. One suggestion: read through archived posts before you post. You may well find what you need without needing to post at all. Peace, david (postmaster, but not really wearing that hat now) --=20 David H. Wolfskill david@catwhisker.org I submit that "conspiracy" would be an appropriate collective noun for cats.
