            Bug ID: 294733
           Summary: ipfw ::/0 expands to me6
           Product: Base System
           Version: 15.0-STABLE
          Hardware: amd64
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Only Me
          Priority: ---
         Component: kern
          Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: mm@dorfdsl.de
                CC: ipfw@FreeBSD.org

Hello!


Running
ipfw add 01000 allow tcp from ::/0 to me 80
results in
01000 allow tcp from me6 to me 80

Which isn't any IPv6 address (like the wildcard should represent), but only the
addresses assigned to the machine.

This should be either fixed or rejected with an error message.

kind regards
