Hi to all, I am freebsd newbie at the moment and want your help on the following issues : 1) I compiled bsd kernel for ipfw support using the doc at http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/howto-setup-freebsd-ipfw-firewall/ and upon reboot, the system did not allow connections from outside. I could login to the server remotely via IPMI but not via ssh, although, ipfw entries were not setup in /etc/rc.conf to start on boot. So I ended up booting into old kernel ( generic ) , instead of IPFWKERNEL Now I want to know how to change the boot loader to boot the Generic kernel on subsequent reboots. Like in linux we do it in grub.conf 2) Can you also let me know the steps to add ipfw support in kernel? 3) How do I check that ipfw support is already there? # ipfw list will do ? Thanks
