23 !!DESCRIPTION
24
25
26 Ipfwadm-wrapper emulates the behaviour of ipfwadm. You can
27 use this wrapper to use your old ipfwadm firewall rules with
28 ipchains. See ipfwadm(8) for more details.

31 If the kernel does not support ipchains (eg. a 2.0 kernel),
32 and the file /sbin/ipfwadm.real exists and is executable,
33 then it will be executed with the arguments given to
34 ipfwadm-wrapper. This allows simple dual-booting of 2.2 and
35 2.0 kernels with the same firewalling scripts: simply move
36 ipfwadm to ipfwadm.real, and ipfwadm-wrapper to
37 ipfwadm.

42 !!BUGS
43
44
45 The script isn't clever at parsing command line arguments.
46 You must use separate arguments, rather than run them
47 together. For example, `ipfwadm -Mle' becomes
48 `ipfwadm-wrapper -M -l -e'.
49
50
51 Fragment accounting rules are not translated correctly; they
52 will account packets with source port 65535.
53
54
55 Due to new kernel restrictions, you must be root even to
56 list rules for 2.2 kernels.
57
58
59 If /usr is mounted from NFS, you will not be able to use
60 ipfwadm-wrapper before /usr is mounted.
