>Description:
The handbook and the man page for firewalls are inconsistent. I
suspect both might be correct, but it would probably be less confusing
if they were consistent.
The man page recommends adding 'firewall_type="/etc/ipfw.conf"' to
/etc/rc.conf while the handbook call for
'firewall_script="/etc/ipfw.rules"'. The handbook seems more intuitive
to me, but they really should be consistent.
>How-To-Repeat:
N/A
>Fix:
Select either method and make man pate and handbook consistent.
