This is because not enough data is copied out of the kernel. I've updated the bug accordingly, see: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=2749234&group_id=169098&atid=849053 > Beside making the "ipfstat" output unreadable, this can lead > to memory leaks/overflows, and I'm not sure whether my rules > actually loaded. At least they don't seem to work. I suspect this to be a different problem than the one to ipfstat... btw, your restrictions on who can deliver email to your mail server prevent you from receiving direct replies... but since you only email the list and not me directly, I guess you know that :) Darren
