FreeBSD guest.reppep.com 4.6-STABLE FreeBSD 4.6-STABLE #0: Tue Jun 18 21:27:59 EDT 2002     pepper@guest.reppep.com:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC  i386

>Description:
ipfw should be in the GENERIC (default) kernel configuration.

Firewalling shouldn't require a kernel rebuild.

Further, this increases the likelihood of shooting oneself in the foot when activating firewalling, if it's not yet configured properly (over providing a non-restrictive default ruleset, and then tightening it to cause a change).
>How-To-Repeat:
Install 4.5-RELEASE
>Fix:
Add IPFIREWALL (v4) options to GENERIC, and if IPv6 is activated, add IPFIREWALL (v6) options as well.


options         IPFIREWALL              #firewall
options         IPFIREWALL_VERBOSE      #enable logging to syslogd(8)
options         IPFIREWALL_FORWARD      #enable transparent proxy support
options         IPFIREWALL_VERBOSE_LIMIT=100    #limit verbosity
options         IPFIREWALL_DEFAULT_TO_ACCEPT    #allow everything by default
options         IPV6FIREWALL            #firewall for IPv6
options         IPV6FIREWALL_VERBOSE
options         IPV6FIREWALL_VERBOSE_LIMIT=100
options         IPV6FIREWALL_DEFAULT_TO_ACCEPT
