While working with a FreeBSD system this afternoon, I did something which killed natd (the NAT daemon), which was processing packets in the usual way via ipfw and a divert socket.
The result? Network communications on the system simply went dead. It seems to me that ipfw should be able to "self-heal" (that is, bypass the rule) or reinvoke a daemon that's attached to a divert socket. Otherwise, the process that's attached to the socket becomes an Achilles' heel for the whole system. Crash it for any reason, and the system's offline. Ideas? --Brett Glass _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
