I suspect both might be correct, but it would probably be less confusing if they were consistent. The man page recommends adding 'firewall_type="/etc/ipfw.conf"' to /etc/rc.conf while the handbook call for 'firewall_script="/etc/ipfw.rules"'. The handbook seems more intuitive to me, but they really should be consistent. >How-To-Repeat: N/A >Fix: Select either method and make man pate and handbook consistent. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
