I have a FreeBSD 5.3 server that I access over SSH. I followed the handbook guide to loading the ipfw kernel module to setup a firewall. I made the mistake the other day of loading the firewall, which defaults to block all, and rebooting, so I couldn't get into the system again (Had to drive in and fix it :-P). Anyway, what I need to know is how to edit the ruleset manually BEFORE enabling the firewall. I need to set the rules, then load the kernel module, not vise versa. I've never dealt with ipfw without webmin, so I need some explicit answers :-).
What I need to do its this:
Set IPFW to allow traffic on ports 80, 10000, and 23 (That's the default SSH port, right?)
Then start IPFW with the kernel module (I know how to do this)
Thanx,
