Actually these are two seperate problems...
1) You are attempting to execute ipfwadm during the boot process from within
rc.local.
While there is nothing wrong with this, the full path to the program MUST be
specified.
Normally this shell script gets executed BEFORE search paths are set...
just change it to /sbin/ipfwadm... etc.
2) The alias only works for the specific shell you are using... Do not put
this command in rc.local but rather in
.bashrc or /etc/profile.
