In trying to tweak my firewall setup I'm using a file called
/etc/ipfw.rules
However, it seems even though I copy my rules perfectly to that file, the
system freezes up and locks me out when I do:
ipfw -f flush; ipfw /etc/ipfw.rules
I've also tried doing it as
ipfw -f flush && ipfw /etc/ipfw.rules
But to no avail.
Firewall script is a common shell script. You don't need to run 'ipfw
<script>'.
Flushing the rules is usually done by script itself.
For example:
#!/bin/sh
ipfw="/sbin/ipfw"
${ipfw} -f flush
${ipfw} <rule>
${ipfw} <rule>
${ipfw} <rule>
...
This file should be executable (chmod +x). You can also put any non-ipfw
additional commands in this file if you want.
Try to make such script, execute it and write again about the results.
Well, I'm trying to be compliant with /etc/rc.firewall's expectations for
a rules file, which IS called with ipfw "rules.file"
