Enable ipfw without rebooting

[scuba at centroin.com.br]

Hi,

	Loading the kernel module "kldload ipfw", did the job.
	But nothing using rc's files helps to prevent being locked with a
"deny all" default rule, since those files are not executed on module
load.
	I had to use:

	kldload ipfw ; sh /etc/rc.firewall
	or
	kldload ipfw ; ipfw add 1 pass all from any to any

Thank you for the help.

|Do you have IPFW code in your kernel?  (Either statically
|compiled via kernel config, or dynamically loaded as KLD)

|If you don't, then it doesn't work, of course.
|
|Try loading the IPFW KLD ("kldload ipfw").
