Hi there,

I have a Java hosted tcp application service available on port 9000. I would 
like to expose that port to the outside world.

Upon my application service starting up, alf (Application Level Firewall) would 
have presented a dialog asking if I want to permit access. I may have 
previously stated no to this and given that the machine is running remotely and 
has no UI that's easily accessible I was wondering if I could use ipfw to 
override alf.

I was hoping that the following ipfw configuration would let me achieve my goal:

00100 allow tcp from any to me dst-port 9000
65535 allow ip from any to any

However what I think is happening is that anything that gets through ipfw then 
gets processed by alf. That would make sense of course.

Anyone know of a way to bypass alf given an ipfw rule?

Kind regards,
Christopher_______________________________________________
