It seems to me, that attempt to automatically edit firewall rules is not very good idea. You are right - it sounds like a hack attempt. Even in your letter - there are many mentions about how it looks like :-) Moreover... FreeBSD has three different firewall systems with different control commands, rule syntax, etc.; I don't know situation in Linux, but script that adds firewall rules should know how to deal with different firewalls... 8-( Please add a compile-time option to completely disable firewall interaction, and I'll switch it on by default when updating synce in Ports Collection :-) http://www.synce.org/moin/SynceInstallation/FreeBSD - I've updated FreeBSD page and added list of ports that sould be opened. -- Ilya Bakulin xmpp://[EMAIL PROTECTED] mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://kibab.com
