Rulesets
Authored by: runtimelogic on Nov 22, '02 03:08:10PM

Whenever there are a number of applications making changes to the rulesets of the built-in ipfw firewall, I find that it is a good practice to restart the machine after turning any of these "firewalls" off/on manually. This is because really the ipfw rulesets are just being modified by the application when you enable or disable it, and many firewall solutions do this in such a way that the rulesets will not be correct after cycling them in this manner.

I'm new to ipfw, but this is an insight I gained after much frustration when running TMA and Little.Dutch.Moose together.
