These boxes are ancient. OpenBSD 3.3 can be pre-ordered today. Aggregating the logs is not managing the firewalls. If you really want to manage the firewall rule sets, then firewall builder (www.fwbuilder.org) may be the way to go. It will generate rules sets for pf, ipf, and ipfilter. ------------------------------------------------------------------- SurfControl E-mail Filter puts the brakes on spam, viruses and malicious code.
