>Description:
	

	There is a misfitting in two parts of man 8 ipfw about 
	quantity of ports that may be specified in a rule. 
	In the Section RULE BODY in the description of 'ports' 
	pattern it is said:

	"The length of the port list is limited to 30 ports or ranges, ..."

	while later in the Section IPFW2 ENHANCEMENTS, subsection "Port 
	specifications" it is mentioned a different length of the port 
	list:

	"ipfw1 ... is limited to 10 entries instead of the 15 allowed 
	by ipfw2."


>How-To-Repeat:
	man ipfw | grep "is limited to"
>Fix:
	
	

	Probably "15" should be changed to "30" in the second cite.
