    | /etc/init.d/ipfnat already exists in the base system and it looks for
    | /etc/ipnat.conf and /etc/ipf.conf
    | put nat rules like above in /etc/ipnat.conf
    | put firewall rules in /etc/ipf.conf
    | you can run /etc/init.d/ipfnat stop/start whenever you want and symlink it
    | to /etc/rc2.d/S99ipfnat so it runs at boot.

    Really, really, really bad mistake.

    That 'broken' script also starts ipf. Ipf should always be started before
    networking is started, so the latest it should run would be /etc/rc2.d/S84ipf.

    This command in the distribution startup script is a security hole:
       ipf -Fa -f /etc/ipf.conf

    As long as you only run it at startup AND before tcp starts, no problem but
    if you run it after startup, there is a momentary opening in the firewall
    between erasing the old entries and loading the new entries and of course,
    if it should fail for some reason, the firewall is disabled.

    Much better to run:
      cat /etc/ipf.rules| ipf -If - && ipf -s -IF a

    This loads the new rules into the inactive table, then swaps then with
    the active set only if the first command succeeds.
