Description JJ Behrens 2002-05-31 19:10:01 UTC 
The Handbook's page on firewalls <http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/firewalls.html> does not mention the firewall_type's feature mentioned in "man rc.conf".  Since this feature makes setting up firewalls really easy, it really should be documented in the Handbook.  Of course, I may be misunderstanding something.

Fix: 

I'd be happy to write the documentation if some committer feels that it would be appropriate.
How-To-Repeat: Read <http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/firewalls.html>.

If submitter is still willing to write up documentation for this PR, please
submit it in plain text. I volunteer to SGML-ize it.

Sorry, I'm not really appropriate for this task.  My knowledge of the
firewall is cursory at best.  I only stumbled across the
firewall_types by reading the source when trying to setup a firewall.
