Hi all,

If anyone out there uses Webmin Firewall module to admin a FreeBSD module, I 
could use a hint on something.

In the FreeBSD handbook, it says one must put the 
"IPFIREWALL_DEFAULT_TO_ACCEPT" option in the kernel, OR make sure allow 
rules are present to avoid being locked out.

IF anyone is using the webmin module, does the firewall.pl script webmin 
uses in the rc.local file avoid all this when the machine boots, or is it 
necessary to add a script to add a rule, or is it still a must to add the 
"IPFIREWALL_DEFAULT_TO_ACCEPT" to the kernel?
