Just a sidenote:

It's not a good idea to modify /etc/rc. In your case, using the
mechanism s of /etc/rc(.shutdown).local is a good way to call
scripts that do not fit the rc.d concept. See "man rc.local"
for details.

So I would suggest something for /etc/rc.local like this:



#!/bin/sh

if [ -z "${source_rc_confs_defined}" ]; then
	if [ -r /etc/defaults/rc.conf ]; then
		. /etc/defaults/rc.conf
		source_rc_confs
	elif [ -r /etc/rc.conf ]; then
		. /etc/rc.conf
	elif [ -r /etc/rc.conf.local ]; then
		. /etc/rc.conf.local
	fi
fi

echo -n " custom-firewall"
/your/firewall/script.sh --here



The final dot + newline in the messages will be added by rc,
if I remember correctly.
