    This post brings me pain and embarassment.

    The "reflex action" comment I made there got me thinking
    (some more), so I tested a hypothosis.

    The reason I've been getting such screwy results is because
    instead of restarting the firewall when I'd tried a tweak, I
    was still rattling off the restart for the sshd process
    (from previous repeated tweakings).

    Guess what results I was getting?

    I shall now turn all the pootas off and go and stand in the
    back garden for several days and try to keep still.

    Feel free to laugh. You can't make me feel any worse right
    now. 8(

    My thanks for your prodding.
