Figured it out..  I needed a new rc file that looked at rc.conf.  Then I
enabled firewall in rc.conf.

Now, I just have to figure out how to build a firewall.  I still can't ping
my other ethernet card
from the bsd machine, so I know I am missing a route or something..  Any
help would
be appreciated.
