Wow... I can't believe this one. ipfw(8) thinks that you are trying to
use the,
ipfw [-q] [-p preproc [-D macro[=value]] [-U macro]] file
Format for the command. You would not happen to have a file named
'setup' in the pwd you are trying to execute ipfw from? From the looks
of the code (/usr/src/sbin/ipfw.c),
if (ac > 1 && access(av[ac - 1], R_OK) == 0) {
Where 'ac' is what we ususally call 'argc' and 'av' is 'argv,' if the
last argument on the command line is a readable file, ipfw thinks it
is supposed to use it as a ipfw config-file.
That is _really_ not an ideal way to figure out how to handle the
command line.
