Hi,

I've got a number of 9.1 boxes, where we need to enable ipfw (by 
kldload'ing it).

I'm sure I saw a while ago a sysctl that would change the default ipfw 
config from 'deny all' to 'allow all' - even for a kldload? But I can't 
find it now.

The boxes have a number of CARP interfaces on them - and I don't want them 
getting blocked during the firewall load - as there's a chance they'll flip 
to MASTER etc. [as well as cutting everyone on, and going through the box 
off - even if only momentarily].

So if there's a sysctl for changing the default ipfw behaviour on loading, 
or someway of getting the ethernet interfaces to 'opt out' of ipfw (until 
I've added the 'allow all from any to any' rule) - that'd be great,

Thanks,

-Karl
