Silly question, but has to be asked: what have you got in the firewall after 
boot and what is in the firewall after you've done all your nmaping 
stuff...when is the firewall setup...at boot? Or do you fiddle it up 
manually? What I'm trying to get at is: is there a rule in the firewall that 
will cause this :)

Still haven't fiddled with OpenBSD's firewall stuff...mostly due to the fact 
that the Sun [my OpenBSD box] can't do anything useful, network wise[1]. If 
the firewall is on the BSD box, are there any strange rules in there? 
OpenBSD's packet filter seems to have a lot mroe flexibility (from what 
little I've spent reading about it -- which isn't much), so dunno if it could 
be "auto-adapting" to the environment. Or something. Summat wierd anyhow :)
