            think i have it scott

            19000 stream udp nowait/0 nobody /usr/bin/nc nc -w 20 192.168.200.200 161

            this nc needs a -u option to get udp

            as per

            http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=nc&sektion=1&manpath=OpenBSD+3.9

            the only other error that i saw was to do with this line which you seem to be working on. this line always shows up tcp not udp

            pass in quick on $lan inet proto tcp from any to $loopback port 19000 keep state label "NAT REFLECT: Allow traffic to localhost"

              line 919 fwrite($inetd_fd, "{$starting_localhost_port}\tstream\t{$protocol}\tnowait/0\tnobody\t/usr/bin/nc nc -w 20 {$target} {$loc_pt}\n");
              change this to
              fwrite($inetd_fd, "{$starting_localhost_port}\tstream\t{$protocol}\tnowait/0\tnobody\t/usr/bin/nc nc -w 20 -u {$target} {$loc_pt}\n");

              the problem with this seems to be that this line even though the case is udpsets both tcp and udp streams???? i am sure you might know what this means

              line 1891   $ipfrules .= "pass in quick on ${$ifname_real} inet proto tcp from any to $loopback port {$starting_localhost_port} keep state label "NAT REFLECT: Allow traffic to localhost"\n";
              change this to
              $ipfrules .= "pass in quick on ${$ifname_real} inet proto udp from any to $loopback port {$starting_localhost_port} keep state label "NAT REFLECT: Allow traffic to localhost"\n";

              hope it helps  alan

                    There is no break, it automatically hits the next case.

                        one last thing you have an extra white space on the udp stream now.
                        i did them both in clean cases before and all worked well

                        for the inetd i added info the the tcp case and the upd case as i did in the localhost allow rule your
                        solution was definatly neater but there is a whitespace issue

                          Please test the file that I posted.  It really should be working now.

                            Not sure what you mean.  Please show me either the generated rules from rules.debug or the netcat entries from inetd.conf

                                      this definatly works correctly here

                                        Your not making any sense.  Are you saying what is commited does not work?  There is no difference, the udp case gets hit for tcp OR udp since there is no break.

                                        Watch this example program:

                                        $protocol = "tcp";

                                        switch($protocol) {
                                                case "tcp":
                                                case "udp":
                                                        echo "case met";

                                        }

                                        ?>

                                        php -f test.php

                                        case met#

                                        As you can see since there is no break, the case "udp" gets processed for either.

                                        Now consider this:

                                        $protocol = "udp";

                                        switch($protocol) {
                                                case "tcp":
                                                case "udp":
                                                        echo "case met";

                                        }

                                        ?>

                                        php -f test.php

                                        case met#

                                        As you can see you do not need to do it your way.

                                            Rerun the commands that I mentioned earlier.  I have updated the file to cover the tcp case either way.

                                            I know for a fact that if other devs catch wind of this they are not going to like it.  I would have to agree with them, this should not be necessary.
