Description Lyndon Nerenberg 2001-07-05 20:20:01 UTC 
Any ipfw command line error results is a one line message describing
the error, followed by a multi-line usage statement. The usage statement
is so long that it forces the original error message to scroll off the
screen. This makes it very difficult to catch errors at boot time.

Fix: Apply the following patch, which suppresses the annoying usage message.
