kldstat is the program you are looking for (like lsmod) It can indeed be that the module is loaded with it's default settings {block all}
Hope this solves your lsmod question, the rest i cannot help you with since i don't understand ipfw :) {yet} cheers -- Kind regards, Remko Lodder Elvandar.org/DSINet.org www.mostly-harmless.nl Dutch community for helping newcomers on the hackerscene mrtg.grunn.org Dutch mirror of MRTG -----Oorspronkelijk bericht----- Van: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Shaun T. Erickson Verzonden: vrijdag 27 februari 2004 20:40 Aan: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Onderwerp: Firewall enabling confusion. I put 'firewall_enable="YES"' in /etc/rc.conf, in anticipation of rebuilding my kernel with the following options turned on: options IPFIREWALL options IPFIREWALL_VERBOSE options IPFIREWALL_VERBOSE_LIMIT=100 I rebooted, for unrelated reasons, and now see in the messages file that ipfw2 has been enabled and, indeed, since I have no rules in place, my system is cut off from the network. I haven't yet rebuilt my kernel, so I don't understand why this kicked in. Did adding that line in rc.conf suck in a kernel module that obsoletes the need for those kernel options? How do I check (I'd do an lsmod, on Linux - don't know what the equivalent FreeBSD command is)? If it is a module, how do I enable logging, as adding 'firewall_logging="YES"' to /etc/rc.conf didn't turn it on, according to the messages file. Likewise for divert (though I don't currently need it).
