No, this is not required. The dynamic rules are checked at first keep-state or limit, too. > > ipfw add 00280 allow tcp from any to any 22 out via bge0 setup keep-state > > ipfw add 00299 deny log all from any to any out via bge0 > > ipfw add 0430 allow log tcp from any to me 22 in via bge0 setup limit > > src-addr 2 > I think this line is your problem.

You can't use both in one rule without strange consequences. Just delete 'setup' words in both rules - it'll probably be fine. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
