Using a script for doing the same. I have one, but it's a few years old and needs modifications. > What are people on the list doing or not doing for their individual > circumstances.

One way or another the packages all turned out to be useless (recording the wrong info), only pfflowd looks hopeful but I didn't it up because it looked like too much trouble. > Sent from my Ubuntu Linux desktop machine behind pfsense box (to > keep it relevant). Sent from my openSUSE desktop behind a pfsense box... (And who cares about this "sent by/from ..." and "virus checked by ..." advertising drivel anyway?)
