I'm using FBSD 4.7 and have compiled ipfw into the kernel. My rc.conf file has the following: firewall_enable="YES" firewall_script="/etc/rc.firewall" firewall_type="/etc/ipfw.rules" firewall_quiet="NO" firewall_logging_enable="YES" log_in_vain="YES" icmp_drop_redirect="YES" On reboot, ipfw is not reading rc.firewall before loading my rules - /etc/ipfw.rules - as I've assumed it would. I thought I could let rc.firewall take care of housekeeping ( flush and loopback rules ) before moving on to the the custom rules in ipfw.rules. Am I missing something here or is it normal to bypass rc.firewall altogether and set up a rules file with everything needed in there? All the tutorials seem to suggest that ipfw reads rc.firewall first before moving onto custom rules files, but that has not been my experience here.
