What problem are you trying to solve? > -Otto i'm trying to solve the problem of which port need to open on the pf. the variant of processing rpcinfo output with script and then putting a rules into an anchor is not very pretty. especially considering that this is not enough, and i still need to repeat this action by cron. this variant works, but it's not even close to how it should work %\ why i should solve such the task at a time when humanity is flying to conquer Mars?
