hmmm... /etc/rc.firewall is not an executable script. You should start with this: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/firewalls.html If you have the necessary options in your kernel, you can make it start vi rc.conf or a simple sh script placed in a startup dir. Eitherway, running ipfw rules shouldn't take more than a second or two. > I have quite a few firewall rules (FreeBSD 4.7R). This causes the server > start-up to take several minutes extra.
