An halted firewall is a firewall that is halted, i.e. you have executed "halt" command. Box is configured not to send halt signal to ATX supply so it is still powered and network stuff is not killed (interfaces up, ruleset not flushed, etc.). As kernel is still alive, your box can continue it's routing/filtering tasks as they're handled within kernel. But, you won't have the ability to log onto the firewall to update rules or have applications running (no logs). -- http://www.netexit.com/~sid/ PGP KeyID: 157E98EE FingerPrint: FA62226DA9E72FA8AECAA240008B480E157E98EE
