Well, adding that rule would work, but it would be a hack. Are you SURE you
are booting the kernel you think you are? Try renaming the kernel with the
IPFIREWALL_DEFAULT_TO_ALLOW option removed to a different name and see if
that's the kernel you're actually booting after the rebuild process. I've
seen two different 5.0 boxes in particular not boot the correct kernel after a
rebuild in the last two weeks.
