Philip,

 From the 'astlinux.shim' file:

# In this shim, we're invoked after 
/etc/arno-iptables-firewall/firewall.conf
# has been read.  We then read /etc/rc.conf, and paste in variables from
# the latter file that should override whatever values were configured in
# firewall.conf.  Reason being that it should be easy to swap between
# arno-iptables-firewall and astfw (and back again) with fewer values to
# reconfigure.

We are on the same page.  What I posted does work (adding variables to 
rc.conf that are found in firewall.conf).  The goal is to get people to 
NOT manually edit the firewall.conf file in 
/mnt/kd/arno-iptables-firewall at all.
