    You must not have seen my other email that listed other things than just
    disk space. If I did need to get to the Internet to get bits, what does
    ipfw do for me that "sysctl net.inet.ip.fw.enable=0" doesn't?

    If I'm repairing /, I'm not running services for someone to break into --
    not to mention your system is so FUBAR if you're repairing /, maybe the
    attacker would take pity on you and fix things for you (for the simple
    price of storing some juarez for him). ;-)
