That's what the "me" keyword is for in the ipfw syntax. Using this would require you to create a slightly customised version of the firewall rules file. Alternatively, you could have dhclient write the parameters out to a file that the firewall script would read in. dhclient-script(8) has "hooks" for this. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
