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.
