OK disregard this example. Although replies to broadcasts are a problem it would not be solved by patching nmbd (what was I thinking !) I will come up with better examples later. promise. By the way, the following change to the chain-rule semantics I described earlier would perhaps be more intuitive: instead acting as a drop rule on a mismatch, continue with the next rule. act as pass on a match (this was what I envisioned in the first place but it got changed during implementation) This would enable better chaining of chain rules ;) Can
