Firewall Rule ID or Number

I've got some packets (inbound) that are being dropped by fwrule="60004" and I have a rule in the ruleset allowing these packets inbound as well as a DNAT rule. This was working fine and no changes have been made. The customer now reports that they cannot access their remote SSH service.

The packetfilter logs indicate the packets being dropped by fwrule="60004". How can I quickly determine which rule this is?

Here is a snippet from the logs:
/var/log/packetfilter.log:2008:01:10-12:47:24 (none) ulogd[5808]: id="2001" severity="info" sys="SecureNet" sub="packetfilter" name="Packet dropped" action="drop" fwrule="60004" initf="eth6" dstmac="00:10:f3:10:00:70" srcmac="00:03:e3:0d[:D]c:82" srcip="69.27.242.3" dstip="209.34.254.107" proto="6" length="40" tos="0x00" prec="0x00" ttl="112" srcport="11557" dstport="22" tcpflags="ACKFIN "

Thanks in advance!

If ACKFINs are all that are being dropped, then this is a red herring; it's not the problem.

Make sure your DNAT and PF rules match up correctly.

Barry, thanks. I noticed that and thought that it was unusual. But how do I determine which rule is 60004?

I'm guessing that's the default drop rule.
