Is that really what you want? # ipfwadm -A -a -P 192.168.117.2 -D 0/0 ipfwadm: invalid protocol "192.168.117.2" specified Try `ipfwadm -h' for more information. I'll assume that should be `-S'. Apart from looking at ip-up, I'd suggest you also think about other ways of doing this, like: # ipfwadm -A -a if you only have the dialup interface, or # ipfwadm -A -a -W ppp0 if you just want to do accounting on your PPP connections. -- Carey Evans <*> http://home.clear.net.nz/pages/c.evans/ gc kernel: Warning: possible SYN flooding.
