next in thread | raw e-mail | index | archive | help
To suck in my own local ipfw rules, I added the following lines at
the end of /etc/rc.firewall:
if [ -f /etc/rc.firewall.local ]; then
. /etc/rc.firewall.local
fi
The file /etc/rc.firewall.local consists simply of a series of lines
in the form of:
/sbin/ipfw add deny log all from some-ip:255.255.255.255 to any
What's puzzling is that these lines are not being executed at boot
time, even though they work if I do ". /etc/rc.firewall" from the
command line.
Any ideas why? Is there a better way to do this?
