Summary: Looking for information on firewall config
Keywords: ipfirewall, firewall, freebsd, kernel, compile
X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.2 PL2]

The two information example files mentioned in the manpage for ipfw did 
not come with our distribution (/usr/share/misc/ipfw.sampe.*) -- we're 
trying to configure our firewall using FreeBSD's ipfirewall kernel 
routines, and some information in the ipfw command's incantations and 
functions would really be helpful ;).  Also as to what settings we have 
to include in the kernel (other than the options IPFIREWALL).  

Thanks...
