No difference in behaviour, in fact 'cfs disconnect' does nothing but block the RPC2 layer from sending or receiving packets. So it is identical. What I noticed was that the client's port number keeps changing, and that is typical for a masquerading firewall. When venus starts, it binds to a specific port and won't change until the process is restarted. JanReceived on 2003-01-10 15:51:20
