>Environment:
Description: The IPFW loadable module was created with these options
Divert disabled, logging disabled, rule-based forwarding enabled, default to deny
Configured this way the loadable module is pretty much useless. 
So much so that it should not even have been created in the first place.

>Description:
>How-To-Repeat:
	
>Fix:
recompile the loadable module with all of the possable options enabled
execpt the default to pass option. Make it part of the next stable
 branch production release scheduled for May 2004  5.3 or 5.4 or whatever.
