"Note that may be" should probably be "Note that it may be". >AUTHORS > Ugen J. S. Antsilevich, > Poul-Henning Kamp, > Alex Nash, > Archie Cobbs. API based upon code written by > Daniel Boulet for BSDI. I don't understand this. Should "API based upon code written by Daniel Boulet for BSDI." all be one (separate) line? It's confusing as written. >HISTORY > ipfw first appeared in > > FreeBSD July 20, 1996 7 Looks like the HISTORY line got truncated, unless it's referring to the footer line.... On a separate point, "ipfw show" as a regular user gets the response "ipfw: socket: Operation not permitted". With sudo, it works. If the ipfw command can only be used by root, this should probably appear in the man page, and generate a clear error when run as und<>0. Thanks for ipfw, and so much of Mac OS X.
