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)?
