For Dag from the rc.conf man page...
firewall_type
(str) Names the firewall type from the selection in
/etc/rc.firewall, or the file which contains the local
firewall ruleset. Valid selections from /etc/rc.firewall,
are ``open'' - unrestricted IP access; ``closed'' - all IP
services disabled, except via lo0; ``client'' - basic pro-
tection for a workstation; ``simple'' - basic protection
for a LAN. If a filename is specified, the full path must
be given.
I could edit rc.firewall, or specify a different script with firewall_script, but it seemed more convenient to simply specify a "rules file". If anyone knows how this can be done, I would appreciate a response.
Thanks,
Dennis
