Firewall pref pane is just a user interface
Authored by: hayne on Oct 27, '03 09:44:24PM

Just to clarify - the Firewall preference pane is just a user interface for configuring the ipfw firewall. That interface is not terribly sophisticated and so gets confused if you have used some other means of configuring the ipfw firewall.

But it is ipfw that is being referred to when the startup message says "waiting for firewall".

There is nothing that you should disable if you use some other means of setting the ipfw rules. Just ignore the Firewall preference pane.
