I found the (add/insert rule):File exists problem. I had duplicate rules in the ruleset!
I still get the SIOCIPFL6 problem. I suspect it is a problem with IPv6. When I did the build world on this box I disabled IPv6 and I suspect that something in IPFilter is trying to use it - but darned if I can figure out where. Any thoughts? What can I supply to you guys that might help you help me? -- Jeff -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Jeffrey D.

The last one was running 3.4.31 so I guess it was time. <grin> I get this set of messages (new to me) when I am booting: Enabling ipfilter 361:ioctl(add/insert rule):File exists 423:ioctl(add/insert rule):File exists 703:ioctl(add/insert rule):File exists 1:ioctl(add/insert rule):File exists ioctl(SIOCIPFL6): Invalid argument Installing NAT rules. 0 entries flushed from NAT table 0 entries flushed from NAT list I am concerned that lines 2 through 6 are errors, but my attention is obviously drawn to the last one of the set of errors since it says "Invalid argument". I can't find this on the list and Google was not my friend, so I thought I would ask you fine folks if my ship was sinking. What exactly is ipfilter telling me, do I need to be worried and what can I do to get a clean boot? Thanks for your help! -- Jeff
