To all listeners,

I am using the videotron.ca cable-modem service here in Montreal, Qc.

In the /etc/rc.firewall file there are areas where we must reflect our system 
setup (Ip, ...) Since I am on a cable-modem using DHCP, I would like to know 
if it is possible to reflect that fact in the "oif" variable? If so, how 
exactly?

I have included part of my rc.conf as wel as the part of rc.firewall that I'm 
talking about. i hope it is enough for some sort of answer.


* From /etc/rc.conf  *****************
gateway_enable="YES"
network_interfaces="ed0 ed1 lo0"
firewall_enable="YES"
firewall_script="/etc/rc.firewall"
firewall_type="open"
firewall_quiet="YES" #change to YES once happy with rules
firewall_logging="YES"
tcp_extensions="NO"
log_in_vain="YES"
tcp_keepalive="YES"
tcp_drop_synfin="NO" #change to NO if create webserver
tcp_restrict_rst="NO"
icmp_drop_redirect="NO"
icmp_log_redirect="NO"
natd_enable="YES"
natd_program="/sbin/natd"
natd_flags="-f /etc/natd.cf"
natd_interface="ed0"

* From /etc/rc.firewall  simple firewall section ***************************
        # set these to your outside interface network and netmask and ip
        oif="ed0"
        onet=""  # How do I add a variable to reflect the fact that it is 
DHCP?
        omask="255.255.255.0"
        oip=""   # Can I add a variable to reflect the fact that it is DHCP?

         # set these to your inside interface network and netmask and ip
        iif="ed1"
        inet="192.168.1.0"
        imask="255.255.255.0"
        iip="192.168.1.1"
