RE: Power failure

["Patrick Kirk" <patrick@kirks.net>]

Hi Didi,

I did exactly as you suggest except I added the ipfwadm commands to
/etc/init.d/network itself.  I love seeing my linux box get up over 100 days
without needing a reboot so it was with some misgivings I simulated a power
failure.  All worked a treat.

Thank you!

Patrick
