To suck in my own local ipfw rules, I added the following lines at the end of /etc/rc.firewall: if [ -f /etc/rc.firewall.local ]; then . /etc/rc.firewall.local fi The file /etc/rc.firewall.local consists simply of a series of lines in the form of: /sbin/ipfw add deny log all from some-ip:255.255.255.255 to any What's puzzling is that these lines are not being executed at boot time, even though they work if I do ". /etc/rc.firewall" from the command line. Any ideas why? Is there a better way to do this? ---------------------------------- E-Mail: Conrad Sabatier <conrads@home.com> Date: 23-Aug-99 Time: 21:37:26 This message was sent by XFMail ---------------------------------- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
