using syslog(3) (log(9)) for its various purposes! This long-awaited
change also includes such nice things as:
* macros expanding into _two_ comma-delimited arguments!
* snprintf!
* more snprintf!
* linting and criticism by more people than you can shake a stick at!
* a slightly more uniform message style than before!
and last but not least
* no less than 5 rewrites!

_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.

# ipfw add 2 count tcp from any ftp\\-data-ftp to any

+ add a missing call to dn_rule_delete() when flushing firewall
rules, thus preventing possible panics due to dangling pointers
(this was already done for single rule deletes).
+ improve "usage" output in ipfw(8)
+ add a few checks to ipfw pipe parameters and make it a bit more
tolerant of common mistakes (such as specifying kbit instead of Kbit)

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.

these are quite extensive additions to the ipfw code.
they include a change to the API because the old method was
broken, but the user view is kept the same.
The new code allows a particular match to skip forward to a particular
line number, so that blocks of rules can be
used without checking all the intervening rules.
There are also many more ways of rejecting
connections especially TCP related, and
many many more ...

Also, add the '-f' flag which ignores the need for confirmation the

Basicly, these were the minimal changes I could make to the code
