    >Description:
            The ipfw(8) manpage has an example of using ipfw sets of rules,
            but the example does not work.

    >How-To-Repeat:
            Try to execute commands from EXAMPLES/SETS OF RULES manpage section

            # id
            uid=0(root) gid=0(wheel) groups=0(wheel), 5(operator)
            # ipfw disable set 18
            ipfw: unrecognize enable/disable keyword: set

    >Fix:
            Patch for manpage
