Re: ipfw natd rules not loading on startup
Just a sidenote:

It's not a good idea to modify /etc/rc. In your case, using the
mechanism s of /etc/rc(.shutdown).local is a good way to call
scripts that do not fit the rc.d concept. See man rc.local
for details.
So I would suggest something for /etc/rc.local like this:
#!/bin/sh
if [ -z ${source_rc_confs_defined} ]; then
if [ -r /etc/defaults/rc.conf ]; then
. /etc/defaults/rc.conf
source_rc_confs
elif [ -r /etc/rc.conf ]; then
. /etc/rc.conf
elif [ -r /etc/rc.conf.local ]; then
. /etc/rc.conf.local
fi
fi
echo -n custom-firewall
/your/firewall/script.sh --here
The final dot + newline in the messages will be added by rc,
if I remember correctly.

ipfw natd rules not loading on startup
I performed a kernel+world update of my freebsd router, RELENG_8 branch, apparently from the version 6 months ago to current. I use ipfw and a shell script that gets loaded at startup. I noticed after rebooting that ipfw did not load two rules, both of type divert natd. However, if I run the script manually, or call it from the end of /etc/rc, it will add these rules as well. Currently I am using a workaround. I could not find any mention of warnings or errors in the logs. I couldn't find any way of making ipfw log errors. I tried piping my script's output to a file, but it did not say anything useful. Noone I asked knew what to do. I noticed that there has been a revamp of ipfw and its supporting scripts recently, so it's possible something broke along the way (for example, a missing rc dependency on natd?). Advice would be appreciated. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

There's been some breakage of ipfw since end of April. I'm unsure as to whether they've all be resolved yet.
