I'm having some trouble getting rc.firewall (et al) to play nice.
Here's the last few lines of dmesg:

changing root device to wd0s1a
IP packet filtering initialized, divert disabled, rule-based forwarding disabled, logging disabled
ip_fw_ctl: invalid command

uname -a gives:(no surprises)
FreeBSD myhost.mydom.org 3.4-RELEASE FreeBSD 3.4-RELEASE #0: Mon Dec 20 06:54:39 GMT 1999   jkh@time.cdrom.com:/usr/src/sys/compile/GENERIC  i386

The result is that with rc.firewall configured to simple or client no traffic makes it out of the (natd) internal net (or console) into the world. Pings fail on permission.(I understand this is because of the default deny in the kernel, which is a good thing...) With it on 'open' natd, ppp, and everyone else do fine (mozilla even on a client box)..

I just need to know if there is something hinky going on with this build (3.4-Release) or what I'm doing that is so moronic..

I will be a bit more forthcoming about configuration specifics if need be.

TIA,
