rc.firewall, atm, has the following:

############
# Flush out the list before we begin.
#
${fwcmd} -f flush

What *I* am using, post-ipfw2, is the following:

if [ -z ${IPFWSET} ]
then
         # Clear and disable
         ipfw delete set 30
         IPFWSET="set 30"
         ipfw set disable 30
fi

then ${IPFWSET} in each rule, and then:

ipfw set swap 0 `echo ${IPFWSET} | cut -d ' ' -f 2`

at the end.

This insert all rules on set 30, disabled, and then swap all of them at 
once, _if_ rc.firewall is succesfully executed to the end. It also makes 
it easy to roll back if you need.

Switching between the two forms depending on whether you have ipfw2 or 
not relatively simple. The rules themselves, if IPFWSET is unset, will 
work fine under ipfw1. All we would need is someway to tell ipfw2 and 
ipfw1 appart so that we can select between flush and the disabled set at 
the beginning/end of rc.firewall.

What do you people think?
