Sure you can. Just prefix all comments with #
Also you can reload your rc.firewall.my  rules file with out
a reboot by issuing the shell command like this
  sh  /etc/rc.firewall.my

Subject: comments in firewall rules

Hi all,

I have a lot of frequently changing rules in a rc.firewall.my file. After
every update I run /etc/rc.firewall to flush out the old rules and apply
the new ruleset through ipfw. (This works  because
firewall_type=rc.firewall.my in /etc/rc.conf).

My question is this:

Can I somehow put comments in the firewall rules file rc.fiirewall.my (so
that I can keep track of the version and see what rule does what)?

Thanks for any responses.
-ansh.
