firewalls are remote, and this command will kill the network connection
to them), prompt the user for confirmation of this command.
Also, add the '-f' flag which ignores the need for confirmation the
command, and if there is no controlling tty (isatty(STDIN_FILENO) !=0)
assume '-f'.
If anyone is using ipfw flush in scripts it shouldn't affect them, but you
may want to change the script to use a 'ipfw -f flush'.

now completely consistent across all IP protocols and should be quite a
bit faster.
Use getprotoname() extensively, performed minor cleanups of admin utility.
The admin utility could use a good kick in the pants.
Basicly, these were the minimal changes I could make to the code
to get it up to tollerable shape. There will be some future commits
to clean up the basic architecture of the firewall code, and if
I'm feeling ambitious, I may pull in changes like NAT from Linux
and make the firewall hooks comletely generic so that a user can
either load the ipfw module or the ipfilter module (cf Darren Reed).
Discussed with: fenner & alex
This stuff should not be too destructive if the IPDIVERT is not compiled in..
be aware that this changes the size of the ip_fw struct
so ipfw needs to be recompiled to use it.. more changes coming to clean this up.
that the english in Ugen's two replacement pages is not too impenetrable! :-)
[Note: Poul - please pull these into the BETA branch along with the
other firewall changes]
