>Description:

When ipfw reads its rules from an input file, the optind variable is
not reinitialized to 1 after calling getopt. This results in parsing
errors on all but the first rule. An added patch also allows '#'
comments at the end of a line.

>How-To-Repeat:

cat >> ipfw_rules << EOF
-f flush
show
EOF
ipfw ipfw_rules

>Fix:
