Hi,
Thanks for your responses so far. I have tried explicitly tried to disable it using: ipfw_enable="NO" and firewall_enable="NO" in /etc/rc.conf My kernel configuration file doesn't contain any IPFIREWALL options. I did try adding "options IPFIREWALL_DEFAULT_TO_ACCEPT" and recompiling/installing but that didn't work. Despite all of this it still loads up and by blocks everything! - this means I have to type "ipfw disable firewall" at every boot. I would prefer if it wasn't there taking up cpu cycles. HELP!
