Done.

Just a side note: the chapter still needs more work -- e.g. there is
the time service rule in the ipf (not sure if it is ever functional on
FreeBSD these days) sub-chapter.

There is a quite dubious 310 rule in the ipfw example (dru@ cc'ed)
that claims that denies "Deny public pings" but in fact denies all
ICMP not just ICMP echo request/response or types 9/0.  It means it
could break the path mtu discovery mechanism that relies on ICMP type
3 code 4 messages.

I must admit I haven't read the chapter carefully.

Thanks,

Maxim
