Thanks, but I have a few comments here:

  * ip_fw.c in -current is basically dead, so you can leave it untouched.

  * There are two more related variables, one in net/bridge.c and the other
    one in net/if_ethersubr.c, which control ipfw filtering of bridged
    and layer-2 packets, they should be updated as well;

  * net.inet.ip.fw.debug should be left alone, it does not do anything
    critical;

  * maybe net.inet.ip.fw.verbose_limit should be left unsecured as well,
    as i believe there might be cases where you want to change it to
    a different value e.g. under attack.

  * all dyn_* variables should be unsecured, because again you might
    want to tune them dynamically.

	thanks
	luigi
