Hello,

I think the ipfw(8) man page is a bit ambiguous in this area: does the "me" pseudo-address (as in "allow tcp from any to me 80") also include ipv6?

Here's what the man page says on 8-stable:


"""
     src and dst: {addr | { addr or ... }} [[not] ports]
             An address (or a list, see below) optionally followed by ports
             specifiers.

The second format (or-block with multiple addresses) is provided
             for convenience only and its use is discouraged.

             ip | all

             any     matches any IP address.

me matches any IP address configured on an interface in the
                     system.

             me6     matches any IPv6 address configured on an interface in
                     the system.  The address list is evaluated at the time
                     the packet is analysed.

             table(number[,value])
Matches any IPv4 address for which an entry exists in the
                     lookup table number.  If an optional 32-bit unsigned
value is also specified, an entry will match only if it has this value. See the LOOKUP TABLES section below for
                     more information on lookup tables.
"""

There is no symmetrical "me4" option which leads me to think that "me" matches only ipv4 and "me6" only ipv6.

Is this right? Any ideas?
