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

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'.

hostname/IP twice on same line in /etc/exports' fix from dumping core

Turn this behavior off using '-Q'. This makes '-v' useless other than as
an ICMP-sniffer, which tcpdump is better at anyway.
Print out another couple of ICMP messages, and fix the printing of the
original packet (mostly byte order problems).

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).

This patch allows true interface routing to be controlled
from the command line..
you can now do:
route add default -interface ppp0
even if you have no clue what the address at the other end is..
this is part of a set of changes that allow true "unnumbered links"
such as netcom run between their sites..
In practice you should assign the address from one of your ethernet
interfaces to the local side of the P2P link so that IP doesn't
say that the packet comes from 255.255.255.255, but
there is no need whatsoever to assign an address of any kind
to the remote end of the link.. useful for frame relay links etc also.
Note, this is not really a security risk, because the buffer in question
is a static variable in the data segment and not on the stack, and hence
cannot subert the flow of execution in any way. About the worst case was
that if you pinged a long hostname, ping could coredump.

the obsolete() function to convert dump-style args to getopt-style
args doesn't check to see that 'f' really has an argument following
the option string in argv[1].

inspired by SunOS version of mount which uses option -p to
indicate that the mount information should be printed in fstab
format.
This is a neat way to create a new fstab file to use later when
one has modified the mount points or mount options or added or
removed mount some mount points. You just type
mount -p > /etc/fstab.new
and there is your new fstab file ready to be used though you
will of course have to add any necessary noauto flags manually.
[Committers note: This also seems to do the wrong thing for AMD
mounts, but in the more average case this is a nifty feature nonetheless
and one can always edit the bogus entries out]
