 1.
 
 > # check if firewall already running to prevent subsequent start calls
 
 One should not unconditionally disable ability of reloading ipfw rules
 using "/etc/rc.d/ipfw start" command. For example, it's used extensively
 in my systems and does not lead to "lock-down". One should learn
 ipfw(8) manual page including CHECKLIST paragraph and make oneself
 familiar with proper ways of reloading ipfw over network.
 
 2. Nice catch. However, that's only one of reasons why it is
 very bad habit to have "./" in PATH.
 
 3. Please use "diff -u" to make unified diffs,
 they are much easier to read.
