Hey all.

In trying to tweak my firewall setup I'm using a file called 
/etc/ipfw.rules

However, it seems even though I copy my rules perfectly to that file, the 
system freezes up and locks me out when I do:

ipfw -f flush; ipfw /etc/ipfw.rules

I've also tried doing it as

ipfw -f flush && ipfw /etc/ipfw.rules

But to no avail.

if it matters, ipfw is loaded as a kernel module, not compiled in.
