maybe. I don't have a system with this change compiled in, so I can
only speculate, and I am by no means a shell scripting wizard. If that
line is expecting only a non-error shell return, yes, substituting
net.inet.ip.fw should work. If it is expecting a "1" returned (which
net.inet.ip.fw.enable would have been set to), then no, the script needs
a bit more tweaking. like I said, I know enough to read a script and
understand what it does, but sh is not my thing.
