>Description:

	/etc/rc.sysctl doesn't appear to be able to set the firewall
	variables (or anything else that is modloaded after it is
	sourced).

>How-To-Repeat:

	Add net.inet.ip.fw.verbose=1 to /etc/sysctl.conf on a system
	where ipfw is modloaded. After the system boots, verbose is
	still set to zero.
>Fix:

	While there are probably several different ways of solving
	this problem, the easiest is probably to rerun rc.sysctl at
	the end of rc.
