Heya;
I have FreeBSD 5.3 and need to set up the firewall. I've never done
anything with Firewall on a *NIX system without the help of Webmin, and
I'm new to BSD in general. Webmin gives me an error when trying to use
the BSD Firewall module.
I tried doing "ipfw sh" to see what was up, and I get "ipfw:
getsockopt(IP_FW_GET): Protocol not available"
I found a post from a while back that said I need to recompile my
kernel. I can't imagine that that's the case for a firewall in
general. I need a firewall... if I can't use Webmin (read: ipfw) I'm
gonna need a REALLY good howto :-P. Any help?
Thanx,
SigmaX
