ipfw.conf is not read

Hi !

I have a stange problem today.
I just set up a brand new 5.1 box. I added in my rc.conf:

firewall_enables="YES"
firewall_script="/etc/ipfw.conf"
firewall_logging="YES"

IPFW is compiled in the kernel.
If I go: "sh /etc/ipfw.conf"; the rules get loaded with no problem, but 
when I reboot the computer, it seems to ignore my ruleset and just set 
default firewall to deny (I want this by default, but I want it to read 
my ipfw.conf ruleset).

The permissions on /etc/ipfw.conf are set to 644.

If you have any idea...
Thanks.

Antoine
