Accepting service names is on my TODO list, unfortunately poor health
this week has prevented me from any hacking.
Before someone jumps down my throat about the changes I brought in
from -current, please note that:
- The existing version in -stable did not: accept host names,
and was not capable of printing service names in a listing.
- There was no documentation to the fact that service names were
not accepted.

Try ipfw -N l :)
