Avoid listing expired dynamic rules unless the (new) -e option was specified.
If specific rule numbers were listed on the command line, and the -d flag was

address is configured on a interface. This is useful for routers with
dynamic interfaces. It is now possible to say:
0100 allow tcp from any to any established
0200 skipto 1000 tcp from any to any
0300 allow ip from any to any
1000 allow tcp from 1.2.3.4 to me 22
1010 deny tcp from any to me 22
1020 allow tcp from any to any
and not have to worry about the behaviour if dynamic interfaces configure
new IP numbers later on.
The check is semi expensive (traverses the interface address list)
so it should be protected as in the above example if high performance
is a requirement.
reserved and now allocated TCP flags in incoming packets. This patch
stops overloading those bits in the IP firewall rules, and moves
colliding flags to a seperate field, ipflg. The IPFW userland
management tool, ipfw(8), is updated to reflect this change. New TCP
flags related to ECN are now included in tcp.h for reference, although
we don't currently implement TCP+ECN.
o To use this fix without completely rebuilding, it is sufficient to copy
ip_fw.h and tcp.h into your appropriate include directory, then rebuild
the ipfw kernel module, and ipfw tool, and install both. Note that a
mismatch between module and userland tool will result in incorrect
installation of firewall rules that may have unexpected effects. This
is an MFC candidate, following shakedown. This bug does not appear
to affect ipfilter.

_or_ you may specify "log logamount number" to set logging specifically
the rule.
In addition, "ipfw resetlog" has been added, which will reset the
logging counters on any/all rule(s). ipfw resetlog does not affect
the packet/byte counters (as ipfw reset does), and is the only "set"
command that can be run at securelevel >= 3.
This should address complaints about not being able to set logging
amounts, not being able to restart logging at a high securelevel,
and not being able to just reset logging without resetting all of the
counters in a rule.

(this was already done for single rule deletes).

This allows for more flexible ipfw configuration files using
`variables' to describe frequently used items in the file, like the
local IP address(es), interface names etc. Both m4 and cpp are useful
and supported; with m4 being a little more unusual to the common C
programmer, things like automatic rule numbering can be achieved
fairly easy.
While i was at it, i've also untangled some of the ugly style inside
main(), and fixed a bug or two (like not being able to use blank lines
when running with -q).
A typical call with preprocessor invocation looks like
ipfw -p m4 -Dhostname=$(hostname) /etc/fwrules
Someone should probably add support for this feature to /etc/rc.firewall.
Any packet that can be matched by a ipfw rule can be redirected
transparently to another port or machine. Redirection to another port
mostly makes sense with tcp, where a session can be set up
between a proxy and an unsuspecting client. Redirection to another machine
requires that the other machine also be expecting to receive the forwarded
packets, as their headers will not have been modified.
/sbin/ipfw must be recompiled!!!

offset is non-zero:
- Do not match fragmented packets if the rule specifies a port or
TCP flags
- Match fragmented packets if the rule does not specify a port and
TCP flags
Since ipfw cannot examine port numbers or TCP flags for such packets,
it is now illegal to specify the 'frag' option with either ports or
tcpflags. Both kernel and ipfw userland utility will reject rules
containing a combination of these options.
BEWARE: packets that were previously passed may now be rejected, and
vice versa.
