https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=285543 Jose Luis Duran <jlduran@FreeBSD.org> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |jlduran@FreeBSD.org --- Comment #3 from Jose Luis Duran <jlduran@FreeBSD.org> --- Although I agree that this can be frustrating, gateway is not a service. That is, gateway_enable and ipv6_gateway_enable are just variables that are checked under the routing service, they just happen to be named *_enable. The case for firewall, is a little different. It gets set under ipfw: # service ipfw enable ipfw enabled in /etc/rc.conf # sysrc firewall_enable firewall_enable: YES # service ipfw disable ipfw disabled in /etc/rc.conf # sysrc firewall_enable firewall_enable: NO If we inspect the ipfw rc.d script, you'll find that rcvar is defined as firewall_enable. The reason for this discrepancy is likely historic. In short, confusing, but IMO not a bug. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.home | help
