IPFW2 woes...

Hey all,

I've written a short IPFW ruleset, with only some count rules and one  
allow all ip rule.  I've got the following entries in my /etc/rc.conf  
file:

# IPFW Settings
# Only used for traffic accounting!
firewall_enable="YES"
firewall_script="/etc/ipfw.sh"

Every time this system boots, it asks if I'm sure if I want the divert  
daemon enabled?  The answer, really, is NO.  pf is doing all that for  
me, I'm just using IPFW for packet accounting.  The message changes  
slightly if I add natd_enable="NO" to the file.

Why is it asking me this, and what do I need to do to make it go away!?

Thanks!
