[-- Attachment #1 --] i just compiled my kernel to include ipfw support....installed it..restarted....it's 11:30PM here...the firewall is just a pet project that i'm running on my personal machine...it can wait a few days. it's set by default to deny all....i got it opened up enough to sent mail and get on the net(duh or you wouldn't be reading this)....but my question is....according to 'man rc.conf" i can add some options to the /etc/rc.conf file like whether or not to start the firewall when the OS boots...eventually i'll want it to..but not until i get it configured. so i set that to no..and a few other options then i rebooted when it boots up is says that firewall_enable = "NO" is not a valid command...basically along the lines that it doesn't know what to do with it. what am i doing wrong? none of the options i entered concerning the firewall to rc.conf file work...they all say what the 1st one does. i've attached my rc.conf file...can someone look at it and maybe tell me what i'm doing wrong? i found some doc's at www.onlamp.com and thats what they do as well.....what do i do? thanks nathan [-- Attachment #2 --] # -- sysinstall generated deltas -- # # Created: Tue Sep 18 00:35:41 2001 # Enable network daemons for user convenience. # This file now contains just the overrides from /etc/defaults/rc.conf # please make all changes to this file. hostname="cheech.uchaswv.edu" ifconfig_xl0="DHCP" inetd_enable="YES" kern_securelevel_enable="NO" linux_enable="YES" moused_enable="YES" saver="fire" sendmail_enable="NO" sshd_enable="YES" usbd_enable="YES" # -- sysinstall generated deltas -- # sendmail_enable="NO" portmap_enable="NO" # -- sysinstall generated deltas -- # defaultrouter="172.16.129.129" hostname="cheech.uchaswv.edu" #firewall--ipfw firewall_enable = "NO" firewall_script="/etc/rc.firewall" firewall_type = "/root/ipfw.rules" firewall_quiet = "YES" log_in_vain = "YES" firewall_logging_enable = "YES" icmp_drop_redirect = "YES"
