https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D247695 --- Comment #3 from Jason W. Bacon <jwb@freebsd.org> --- Sorry, I didn't see Andriy's reply before. Yes, I think advising users to modify a file that could be overwritten by freebsd-update is a bug. Most users would be extremely annoyed if they customized /etc/rc.firewall only to have their changes clobbered by a routi= ne update. Worse yet, they might not notice immediately that their firewall i= sn't protecting the system as expected. I would update the rc.firewall script to source a local customizations script that freebsd-update will never touch, = and update the handbook occordingly. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
