Are you argouing that FreeBSD ports of server software that can provide a Windows client should include that client? Sorry, I can't support that view. When I add something to the port, I feel I must be able to support it. I can't even compile Windows software, let alone debug it. So, no I will not add Windows software to this port. > I wrote the current handbooks firewall section and I think this > doorman port is so important that I am going to add reference to it > in the update I am writing to the firewall section.

Even more would I appreciate if you were able to test doormand with ipfw. I don't have the time to set up infrastructure to do this test. > Thanks for your fast replies in this matter.
