you are wrong in giving this guy incorrect info. ipfw can be run just by adding correct statement to rc.conf it does not have to be compiled into kernel maybe you should read the firewall section first before giving advice -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org]On Behalf Of Daniel Bye Sent: Friday, April 14, 2006 11:02 PM To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: ipfw On Sat, Apr 15, 2006 at 05:46:34AM -0700, nirvana - Cityshells.NET wrote: > Hello, > when i type ipfw show/list i got this error msg > ipfw: getsockopt(IP_FW_GET): Protocol not available > > how i can let ipfw work. > Thanks You need to recompile your kernel with the following options: options IPFIREWALL options IPFIREWALL_VERBOSE options IPFIREWALL_VERBOSE_LIMIT=1000 (Change the value for IPFIREWALL_VERBOSE_LIMIT to suit your own needs). You also need to read the ipfw man page, and the bit of the handbook about ipfw at http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/firewalls- ipfw.html HTH, Dan -- Daniel Bye PGP Key: ftp://ftp.slightlystrange.org/pgpkey/dan.asc PGP Key fingerprint: D349 B109 0EB8 2554 4D75 B79A 8B17 F97C 1622 166A _ ASCII ribbon campaign ( ) - against HTML, vCards and X - proprietary attachments in e-mail / \
