man 8 ipfw describes syntax for table use in ipfw like this:- addr: [not] {any | me | table(number[,value]) | addr-list | addr-set} .. table(number[,value]) Running under bash / sh / csh ipfw add 2 deny ip from table(1) to me in via xl1 generates a syntax error. the table(x,y) entry seems to require quotes under most shells. I feel the man page should indicate this Fix: Add warning to man page that "table(x,y)" may well be required dependant on particular shell... How-To-Repeat: sh# ipfw add 201 deny ip from any to table(2) in via xl1 Syntax error: "(" unexpected csh# ipfw add 201 deny ip from any to table(2) in via xl1 Badly placed ()'s. bash# ipfw add 201 deny ip from any to table(2) in via xl1 Syntax error: "(" unexpected
