Description sjr 2002-01-04 18:10:01 UTC 
	Right now, you need to edit rc.firewall to set variables before
	use. The attached patch creates a series of variables in rc.conf
	to remove the need to edit rc.firewall.

Firewalling and rc scripts? Sounds like a job for Crist!

The rc.firewall scripts should not be used without local 
customizations. Encouraging their use unmodified by adding variables 
to rc.conf(5) is a step in the wrong direction. Ideally, I would 
subtly break rc.firewall so the rules would have to be changed, not 
just some variables set, for the firewall to work at all... but then I 
think about the noise on -questions that this would generate.
