Hello all! Rest assured I've used Mroogle, and didn't find what I wanted.
I use my MBP on public networks sometimes, and I've always found the GUI firewall in Leopard (yup, still running Leopard on the MBP) to be lame. So I've researched into setting up ipfw.

I basically did what this guy did, though I put the files under /Library rather than ~/Library, which seemed a stupid place to put this. Especially since none of the other similar articles I found put them in ~/Library.
It seems to be working according to nmap:
But running sudo ipfw list still returns just the default "allow everything" rule:
According to what I've read, this should be specifying all the rules defined in the .conf file I created. However, I'm thinking I may have messed up somewhere since only the default rule appears.
Any expert advice here is much appreciated!
If I need to post further info, please let me know!
