Is it possible to configure the FreeBSD firewall to block ports on a
per-user or per-executable basis?
eg.
- Block /usr/local/bin/irc from connecting to TCP port 6667
- Block user 'johnsmith' from connecting to TCP port 21
etc.
Thanks.
Regards
Andrew

But if see the man of atrun(8) then you can see these

atrun(8) refers to /etc/crontab, not /var/cron/tabs/root.

Nitpicking a little, but Perl isn't part of the FreeBSD base any more.
Most FreeBSD users probably have it installed, though (perhaps as a
