              switch($rule['protocol']) {

                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.

                      i see the issue scott

                      make the udp case empty above the tcp case
                      and fill in the tcp case but then look at your working cases in the rdr sections there is the issue
                      i reran the commands but there is an error in the filter.inc on 389 or thereabouts now as well i fixed an if that was missing an I

                      role it back scott i will work on it tomorrow i understand what youa re trying to achieve now and how you should do it using your method.
                      i will have better resourses tomorrow i am at home at moment and is 1am

                      i will send you the diffs tomorrow for your review

                        ok i think you will be happy with the localhost rules but not so pleased with the nc inetd bits
                        have a look and let me know

                        it works perfectly and that was my goal

                          Looks like you started with a dated filter.inc.

                          Can you:

                          #1 update your filter.inc and make the changes again
                          #2 send a diff -u patch?  I need to also make these changes in -HEAD which this will assist with

                              You need to include the most latest and greatest filter.inc.

                                  Thanks, I've commited a slightly different version.

                                  $rule['protocol'] should be used instead of the hard coded udp value since that case can trip for tcp or udp.

                                      conculsion it just does not work the way you want it to.
                                      ports are not lining up right tcp/udp should use two nc ports and not one.
                                      i think you should remove the feature or really look hard at it.

                                        I will just remove.  I am really tired of reflection.

                                          I just commited a change to install both tcp and udp entries for reflection.  I am guessing this was the only bug that you are experiencing but its rather hard to tell from re-reading your text.
