all you need to do, is to put your list of ipfw ... statements into your /etc/ipfw.rules and make it executable by # chmod 750 /etc/ipfw.rules and they will be executed on bootup. The line firewall_type="/etc/ipfw.rules" in your rc.conf is not necessary. Uli. > > On reboot, ipfw is not reading rc.firewall before loading my rules - > /etc/ipfw.rules - as I've assumed it would.
