There appear to be a few typos in the handbook. For example:
# ipfw add accept from any to sup.FreeBSD.ORG 871
ipfw: ERROR - invalid protocol
[usage message]
It should be:
# ipfw add accept tcp from any to sup.FreeBSD.ORG 871
^^^
00000 allow tcp from any to 205.149.163.30 871
Assuming you want to allow TCP, that is. According to the manual
page, the protocol is required.
