I see. While both choices are reasonable, this change has the potential of
causing a lot of grief to people who find their rulesets altered. If we're
dropping abbreviations, maybe it's a good idea to provide a
search-and-replace script to convert existing rule scripts. Maybe even
offer it as part of mergemaster (if that's at all possible - I don't know).

That's easy:

sh /etc/rc.firewall closed

ipfw add 500 pass tcp from me to any keep-state limit src-addr dst-port 40
ipfw add 600 pass udp from me to any keep-state limit src-addr dst-port 40


 Now just fire up Mozilla (which opens lots of connections in rapid
succession) and watch the logs.



I have another bug to report. The following causes a segfault on a
DUMMYNET-less machine:

ipfw queue 1 config pipe 10 weight 100 mask src-ip 0xffffffff

note that if you drop the mask speficier, then it just tells you:

ipfw: setsockopt(IP_DUMMYNET_CONFIGURE): Protocol not available

as it should.
