Recompiling
your FreeBSD kernel |

IPFIREWALL Save and exit. cd /usr/src make buildkernel KERNCONF=MYKERNEL make installkernel KERNCONF=MYKERNEL Your new kernel is now set up. However, DO NOT REBOOT YOUR SERVER YET. By default, your firewall will be set to DENY all traffic, so if you reboot your server now, you will be locked out! We'll need to make some vital changes to the firewall configuration before it's safe to reboot. Now let's set up the rest of the firewall.
