OK, last stupid question of the week, I hope. I'm setting up a single box on a hosting rack I don't own, and I want to lock it down best I can. I just want to let SSH, HTTP, and SMTP in for now. I understand how to do it with ipfw, but I assume those settings are lost in the case of accidental reboot, right?. If so, is the syntax for editing rc.firewall any different than ipfw? The "client" vs "simple" distinction also confuses me a tad, as I'm neither protecting a netowrk behind me nor do I have a network I trust in front, so neither of these prebuilts really work for me. Can I just have rc.firewall reference another file with ipfw rules, or replace it altogether with this? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
