>Description:
     The ipfw(8) man page has an error in an example. It uses the form "1.2.3.4/255.0.255.0" (addr/netmask) when in fact that syntax is for addr/masklen. The correct syntax is 1.2.3.4:255.0.255.0 (addr:mask).
>How-To-Repeat:
      Read ifpw(8) and try to use the example like I did  :)
>Fix:
      Patch for $FreeBSD: src/sbin/ipfw/ipfw.8,v 1.143 2004/04/23 14:28:38 andre Exp $
