Hi all,
Recently I upgraded to 8.2-STABLE and reconfigured natd + jailed box, but
all packets could not over nat box. I've researched and found
/etc/rc.firewall does not recieve argument of firewall_type. So ipfw does
not divert and natd could not be performed. The reason is /etc/rc.d/ipfw
incorrect. I think an patch below should be applyed to /etc/rc.d/ipfw. Is
there any problem to do this?
