What is the ipfw command to load this file after ipfw has been started at boot up? The FBSD handbook says that you can tell ipfw to create a rules file from it's internal table using the ipfw list command. What is the format of to ipfw command to generate the rules file? Why does the output from the ipfw list command look different from what the rules look like going in? Is there some option to get the list rules command to list the rules like they were entered? I do not have line numbers on my add rule statement. The rules seem to work correctly. Are the line numbers necessary? Are there any commonly used ipfw command options that you think I would benefit knowing of?
