If I was you I will work with a copy of the file instead. Then change
the value in the /etc/rc.conf to the path and name of your copy, like
this firewall_script="/etc/rc.ipfw" providing you named the file
rc.ipfw.
If it is your ip you are setting then yes, change it. rc.firewall will
tell you for example mine has this:
# set these to your network and netmask and ip
net="192.0.2.0"
mask="255.255.255.0"
ip="192.0.2.1"
so in that case you should.

Subject: firewall question
Hi,
I am trying to set up my firewall, and I am following one of the
O'Reilly
howto's. I don't see instructions in there for me to edit the
/etc/rc.firewall, but I was looking at that file, and it includes ip
addresses that do not match my actual ip address, netmask, etc.
For instance, it says ip is 192.0.0.1. Do I need to change these values
to
match my actual fxp0 values? I would think the O'Reilly would tell me
if I
needed to change those values, but it doesn't. I would also think that
those values should match the actual values, but they don't.
Can someone help me out here?
Thank you,
Eric
