| I would rather get this working. My former system admin dropped it into my

| #!/bin/sh

| # $FreeBSD: src/etc/rc.d/ipfw,v 1.10.2.2 2006/03/01 11:36:01 wkoszek Exp $

| . /etc/rc.subr
| . /etc/network.subr
| 
| name="ipfw"
| rcvar="firewall_enable"
| start_cmd="ipfw_start"
| start_precmd="ipfw_precmd"
| stop_cmd="ipfw_stop"
| 
| ipfw_precmd()
| {
|         if ! ${SYSCTL} net.inet.ip.fw.enable > /dev/null 2>&1; then
|                 if ! kldload ipfw; then
|                         warn unable to load firewall module.
|                         return 1
|                 fi
|         fi
| 
|         return 0
| }
| 
| ipfw_start()
| {
|         # set the firewall rules script if none was specified
|         [ -z "${firewall_script}" ] && firewall_script=/etc/rc.firewall

So your rules file is /etc/rc.firewall.
