Of course the license document included with this software spells out exactly what conditions the devs have placed on distribution, preparation of derivative works, etc. If they had wanted to, they could have required these companies to pay, or to provide source code, or whatever. They already made their choice; it's not really fair to whine about it now.

Who is complaining? I am told here; you are not using OpenBSD when I am in fact. There are no obvious errors showing up in the log files, yes, that's my problem. And yes, I had someone look at it who is more experienced that I am in setting up OpenBSD as a firewall and it is a valid thing to do, have another pair of eyes look at it, or are you infallible and never miss something that is obvious for someone else sometimes at the first glance? Geez, to talk to you people here, you are gods.

yes, thank you, Sherlock, what would I ever do without random advice from /. To think, how did I manage to have an OpenBSD box as a firewall since August and never needed to look at the log files through tcpdump? That's it, you have solved it for me.
