Hi!

Just wondering whether anyone has experience of installinf ipfw on
2.2.1-RELEASE. I've just recompiled the kernel with all the IPFIREWALL
options. No matter what ipfw command I enter I get a "Usage" message
even if I enter the example ones in the handbook. One command does work
however:

ipfw add allow all from any to any

which produces the message:

00000 allow ip from any to any

This produces an entry in the ipfw -a l table:
00100        0        0 allow ip from any to any

This is hardly the point.

Anyone any ideas?

Cheers,

Marcus.
