Thanks to Hal I've got the firewall working great here. My only remaining problem seems to be inetd. When I boot with the firewall option enabled in the kernel (no logging or accounting), inetd does not work until it receives a SIGHUP. The behaviour is the same whether I run ipfw during startup or not. Immediately after booting and establishing a connection with my ISP, I try to telnet myself, from myself and get "Connection refused". If I then send a SIGHUP to it, which causes it to re-read its configuration, it works fine. Changing rc to run inetd -l doesn't create a log that I can find anywhere. Nothing to the /var/log/messages file anyway. I can't figure out a way to run it with the -d switch from rc, and if I run in interactively it works. In the worst case I'll write a program to detect if it is working or not and SIGHUP it if it isn't going, and run that in a cron job, but if anyone has any better ideas, I'd love to year from you. Thanks again, Vic.
