Hi.
I think quite many people met a situation when you want to save current
rules with 'ipfw list' command and use it as ipfw input afterwards?
(Yes, you should add a 'add' word before each line). But here we meet a
weird problem: 'ipfw list' outputs a wrong rule format sometime and you
can't use it without a modification.
The problem with 'to { ... or ... }' blocks. Let's see an example:
you add the rule:
ipfw add 100 allow tcp from { 10.10.10.1 or 10.10.10.2 } to { 10.10.10.3
or 10.10.10.4 or 10.10.10.5 }
adn it's showed as:
00100 allow tcp from { 10.10.10.1 or 10.10.10.2 } to { 10.10.10.3 or
dst-ip 10.10.10.4 or dst-ip 10.10.10.5 }
dst-ip words are wrong here. if you'll try to add the rule in this
format you get an error:
ipfw: missing ")"
I think it's a known and long standing problem.
(I've found it's introduced with the commit: Revision 1.11:
Mon Aug 19 04:52:15 2002 UTC (4 years, 11 months ago) by luigi )
After investigation I've found a strange assumption in
show_prerequisites() function. It looks wrong. So I think we can remove
it easily. It'll fix the problem. I've tried a lot of syntax variants
and I can't see something wrong in output after the modification.
Tell me if I wrong (with examples). The patch is bellow.
