You don't even need to restart anything to refresh the firewall rules. Assuming you're using /etc/rc.firewall for your rules, just do: sh /etc/firewall Do that only from the console, not from a network login or you _will_ get yourself firewalled out. If you're doing it from the network, do: sh /etc/firewall > fw.out 2>&1 And then review the file fw.out afterwards.
