Designating the type "open" will make your system set up wide open and can
be useful when debugging the rc.firewall script and the kernel has been
compiled to "deny all". If you want to the rc.firewall to load and bee
effective though, you must modify it for your own use, incuding the proper
designations of interfaces, ports, and rules.
