I set up ipfirewall exactly as specified in The
complete FreeBSD 3.3 book for the 'simple'
firewall profile. First problem was when I
rebooted I got a message about a line in the
rc.firewall that wasn't recognized - it didn't
like ' elif [..... etc]; then ' (page 504), and I
got
prompt that the system couldn't find the path to
the shell, I had to enter it or hit enter. I did.
Then edited rc.firewall and removed the ' el '
from 'elif' - but that resulted in a message
about the script being incomplete. And of course I
got the same prompt again, then edited
rc.firewall again and added ' fi ' to the end of
it, thinking that might be what it needed to
finish the script. But that resulted in a message
about a unterminated string, and the shell
prompt again.
Of course I can't access the internet or any pc's
on my homenet, can't even ping localhost.
I configured the kernel for firewall, did
everything the book says to do, it just ain't
workin'.
I would like to use this to replace a linux
firewall and run apache (which is working, btw).
