Hi,

I'm trying to configure a linux router as a firewall.  As per
documentation, I've rebuilt the kernel with both
IP_FORWARDING and IP_FIREWALL options.

The forwarding is now working but when I try some ipfw commands
I get this error:
  melbroute:/etc# ipfw  p f accept
  ipfw: setsockopt(IP_FW_POLICY_FWD): Protocol not available

Any ideas or help would be greatly appreciated?

TIA.
Cheers,

Javy
