Hi,

What is required to get ipfw up and going ?

The man pages are a little vague and I haven't been able to find any 
decent documentation (2.1.0-RELEASE)

I've built the kernel with the IPFIREWALL_VERBOSE option, as well as the 
IPACCT option. Do you also require the GATEWAY option ? Is anything else 
required ?

Are there any example cases of accounting and firewall chains ? (ie. how 
to invoke and some basic rules/policies).

Thank you for your time.

regards
scott
