	Thanks...

	I always DO try to keep things out of /etc if at all possible, I
regard that as "system space", and if I do "trespass" into it its usually
a file or directory previously allocated for that (/etc/rc.conf, /etc/mail/*).

	I've made a "/etc/rc.firewall.local".... I may rename it in the future
to stand out more, but we'll see how it goes for now.

			Thanks, Tuc
