see /etc/rc.firewall. The gist of the previous posting that there is no easy firewall , and don't ever be lulled into a sense of security because you running a firewall :) --Daniel Schroder (Private email daniel@unix.os.org.za) Unix users ..

You honestly spat that back at me in minutes. I have actually been reading through some of your articles since then. I need to play with/learn the big differences between Free and Linux first (things like the packaging system and the handling of modules etc.). I was just hoping I could lock down my ports easily while I read and read and read. All well, now I definitely have a place to start. I'm about to check out any related links from freebsd.org, but perhaps you could guide me to some good info/faqs/tutorials on setting up ipfw in Free? Nothing too complicated needed.
