I started cvsup and in the process of syncing the sources the ssh session to the machine died... You're right: The file with the rules for ipf is defined in /etc/rc.conf which didn't got changed in any way... My assumption was that once the rules got loaded by ipf I can do whatever I want to the file (/etc/ipf.rules) as long as I don't reboot the machine. It seems that the rules got flushed by the updating process in some way... Regards, Stephan.
