I've discovered even more interesting things. If you recall, I was having difficulty getting my NFS partitions to mount correctly after upgrading to the latest 4.3-STABLE. My latest experiment was to see if IPFW was causing problems, so I performed the following steps: 1. I re-cvsup'ped the latest 4.3-stable source, and created a new kernel config file called TEST that was essentially a direct copy of GENERIC. The only thing I changed was the IDENT and the MAXUSERS. 2. I did a new make buildworld and make buildkernel using my test kernel. I then performed a make installkernel with this new kernel. I did -not- perform a make installworld. 3. I rebooted the machine from my terminal server and watched, with a certain amount of glee, as it booted up with no errors. I shelled in, and made sure all my partitions were mounted. I was happy. 4. I found something quite interesting at that point. You see, I had left my old firewall rules in /etc/rc.firewall. I had also left my firewall_enable="yes" and firewall_type="client" config options in /etc/rc.conf. What surprised me, therefore, was that all my rules were loaded and active, and working (I tested my rules from various other machines, and used ipfw to add and remove them). But, I thought I had removed all IPFW support from my test kernel? It was a copy of GENERIC? So, my question is, why would my rules still be working? I realize that I had left things turned on in my config file, but I was expecting those options to cause errors since IPFW was turned off in my test kernel.
