Hey... I just type 'ipfw -a list' on the command line and got back an
invalid argument error. That confused me for a bit so I poked around
for a while and then it just started working again. A bit more poking
and I discovered that it fails if there is a file called 'list' in
the directory the command is being executed from.

Seems ipfw checks for a file containing commands before it checks to
see if you've issued a valid command?

A bit of experimenting ('touch flush', 'ipfw flush') seems to indicate
that its true for most commands. Perhaps this is intentional but its
behavior confused me a bit... And it means I can't leave a file called
'list' laying around as then /etc/security output is wrong.
