Hello,

I am trying to get my firewall to work. I think that /etc/rc.firewall is
broken.

First, the versions:

FreeBSD gator.wgss.net 2.2.5-STABLE FreeBSD 2.2.5-STABLE #0: Sat Nov  8
17:44:52 PST 1997     riso@gator.wgss.net:/usr/src/sys/compile/custom  i386

$Id: rc.firewall,v 1.6.2.5 1997/10/21 00:20:35 jkh Exp $
$Id: rc.conf,v 1.1.2.29 1997/10/31 02:00:42 jdp Exp $

When firewall is specified to 'open' a very important rule is not passed out,
ipfw add 1000 pass all from any to any

I have a temporary fix, by sticking the rule to /etc/rc.local


Thanks,
