--- Comment #5 from Rodney W. Grimes <rgrimes at FreeBSD.org> ---
No one should ever modify /etc/rc.firewall, and any recommendations to do so
should be updated.  The PROPER way to do this is to copy the file to some other
place, and override the /etc/default/rc.conf variable "firewall_script" to
point to the new file:
firewall_script="/etc/firewall/firewall"
is an example from my systems.
