>Organization:
Heitec AG
>Environment:

    FreeBSD 4.1.1-STABLE #5: Mon Oct  2 00:14:43 CEST 2000

>Description:

	If you add a IPFW rule to pass TCP traffic to port 'echo',
    then port 4 will be allowed instead of port 7; apparently,
    because there's an 'echo' with port 4 in /etc/services.
    That's only protocol 'ddp' though, hence I assume 'ipfw add'
    does not check the protocol if looking up port names.

>How-To-Repeat:

    #ipfw list
    00100 allow ip from any to any
    65535 deny ip from any to any
    #ipfw add pass tcp from any to any echo
    00000 allow tcp from any to any 4
    #ipfw list
    00100 allow ip from any to any
    00200 allow tcp from any to any 4
    65535 deny ip from any to any
    #grep echo /etc/services
    echo		  4/ddp	   #AppleTalk Echo Protocol
    echo		  7/tcp
    echo		  7/udp
    at-echo		204/tcp	   #AppleTalk Echo			
    at-echo		204/udp	   #AppleTalk Echo			

>Fix:

	Workaround: use port numbers only when specifying firewall
    rules, not port names.
