  Configuring Jaguar's Firewall

is there an /etc/rc.firewall equivalent in macosx? (i.e.: a startup script that brings up the firewall on boot) And if so, is it compatible with a freebsd one? (expecially, does it support stuff like check-state, xmit/recv et al?) I'm considering switching to an apple machine, and discovering that there's ipfw inside was a very nice surprise


thanks

    Yes there is. You can create your own rc.firewall script and set it to startup when you boot the machine. Brickhouse will also create a script and insert the necessary items into the appropriate places for startup.

    Rather than rewrite the instructions, please read the following article for a good description of this process:

    Thanks!
