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). Chip W.
