Re: strange problem with ipfw and rc.conf

Thanks.

I don't think it was the problem of ipfw rulesets. In
fact once I did "sh /etc/ipfw.rules" and things are
fine. I just cant figure out why the rc.conf won't
load the rulesets.

Besides, I recompiled the customized kernel and there
is no need for "firewall_enable="YES"" statement in
rc.conf.
