I'm trying to create a shell script for firewalling. What I'm hoping to do is create a generic script that looks for variables in /etc/rc.conf. I've tried looking at other scripts that use variables placed there, but don't understand how to pull the information from the file.
Ah, now I may be a FreeBSD newbie, but I've been doing shell scripts for a long time.
Take note, he is *really* not exaggerating!!
What specifically are you trying to pull out of /etc/rc.conf?
ps - that said, why aren't you setting firewall configuration once and leaving it alone?
Yeah, I wondered about that too, unless there's something particular to that local configuration it sort of seems like reinventing the wheel.
