Re: States

[Daniel Hamlin <hamlin@rose-hulman.edu>]

According to pfvar.h, and the FAQ
http://www.openbsd.org/faq/pf/options.html , the default maximum number
of states is 10000.  Sounds like your state table is full.  The limit
can be changed with "set limit states <some number>" in your pf.conf, or
you may want to troubleshoot why you have that number of states in use. 
For example, if my desktop, which does very little Internet traffic,
suddenly has 10000 states open, I better figure out why.
