  Hi!

I'm using my own ip firewall (firewall_type="/etc/ipfw.conf") on my 
FreeBSD 5.2 system. My problem is, how can I reload the whole thing? The 
ipfw command is for creating and deleting individual rules. What I would 
like to do is to create profiles (different config files) and reload the 
whole firewall configuration anytime. Is there a command for this? What 
I do now is that I reboot my box every time I change firewall 
configuration. But of course this is clumsy and very bad. I may start 
services on the server which will not allow me to reboot daily. Thanks 
in advance.
