Ahh... so unless I am missing something, it would appear that when you put
a lowercase-m in place, it is just skipped, and:
ipfw pipe 1 config bw 10mbit/s
becomes:
ipfw pipe 1 config bw 10bit/s
Does that look like an accurate interpretation of what is happening ?
Looks like. To be sure you should read the source code.
So here's a follow-up question:
I now have a (remote) system that is now set to 10bit/s rate limiting
... now that is awfully slow, but are there any conceivable tcp/ip
settings that I could apply on a local system here that would allow me to
ssh into it ? As it stands now, I cannot ssh into it - the session times
out. Any ideas ?
All I need to do is login and "ipfw delete ..." :)
You'll probably have to get console access on this box.
There are some tricks you can use next time. From ipfw man page:
To test a ruleset and disable it and regain control if something goes
wrong:
ipfw set disable 18
ipfw add NN set 18 ... # repeat as needed
ipfw set enable 18; echo done; sleep 30 && ipfw set disable 18
Here if everything goes well, you press control-C before the "sleep" ter-
minates, and your ruleset will be left active. Otherwise, e.g. if you
cannot access your box, the ruleset will be disabled after the sleep ter-
minates thus restoring the previous situation.
Good luck,
Tobias.
