Bug ID: 229363
Summary: Incomplete documentation for FreeBSD ipfw
Product: Documentation
Version: Latest
Hardware: Any
OS: Any
Status: New
Severity: Affects Many People
Priority: ---
Component: Documentation
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
When I see the official documentation of ipfw[1] or the man pages[2] it seems
that it is sometimes incomplete. Specifically, there are a lot of options like,
firewall_myservices
firewall_allowservices
etc., which can be found in many online guides[3] but **not** in the docs.
They're even discussed in the lists[4].
So I would like to understand if these are unofficial or undocumented options,
and if they might be arbitrarily removed at some point in the future since
they're not formally documented. More importantly, is there a single
comprehensive documentation source for ipfw, short of grokking the source code?
