--- Comment #3 from Jose Luis Duran <jldu...@freebsd.org> ---
Although I agree that this can be frustrating, gateway is not a service.
That is, gateway_enable and ipv6_gateway_enable are just variables that are
checked under the routing service, they just happen to be named *_enable.
The case for firewall, is a little different. It gets set under ipfw:
# service ipfw enable
ipfw enabled in /etc/rc.conf
# sysrc firewall_enable
firewall_enable: YES
# service ipfw disable
ipfw disabled in /etc/rc.conf
# sysrc firewall_enable
firewall_enable: NO
If we inspect the ipfw rc.d script, you'll find that rcvar is defined as
firewall_enable. The reason for this discrepancy is likely historic.
In short, confusing, but IMO not a bug.
