Hi all.  I'm having an issue with security while trying to get natd to
work with ipfw.  I got my ipfw rules working great, so I added the natd
line in:

ipfw add divert 8668 all from any to any via $EXTERNAL_INTERFACE

But I can't do anything (ping, fetch, etc) until I add:
 ipfw add pass all from any to any

Now, I may be wrong, but doesn't this pretty much open the box up?  I
tried changing the first "any" to my internal network, but that didn't
work, and I know I've got to be missing something.

If anyone would like to help me off-list, I could send you a copy of my
rule set if you'd like.

Thanks in advance,

Hello,

The best way to learn about your firewall is to log all denyed packets and review the log file while trying different programs that access the network.

#ipfw add 6500 deny log any to any

#tail -f /var/log/security

Then create rules based on what shows up in the logs.
