I was not merely thinking of this. For ipfw to work, the kernel and the
/sbin/ipfw binary have to match, or else adding or otherwise
manipulating rules will likely fail. This will either result in a
wide-open firewall or a tightly closed one, depending on the kernel
config. This happens even when the ipfw support is not loaded from a
module.
