I am trying to setup accounting and some filtering using ipfwadm.
I have installed ok but I am having problems figuring out the correct
syntax to enable accounting and filtering.

My interpretation of the man pages is as follows:

ipfwadm -A -a -P all -S 0.0.0.0 -D 204.123.40.10

enable accounting for all packets that are going to IP address
204.123.40.10.

After I run the command I get:

ipfwadm: setsockopt failed: Protocol not available

Am I doing something wrong, Am I missing a library?

Any hints are welcome.

Is there a doc or URL that contains examples of the syntax for ipfwadm.

I am having a pretty tough time with the man pages.

In the meantime, I will keep reading the man pages until I see a guiding
light.

If I'm not mistaken ipfwadm is for 1.3.x and above and ipfw is
for 1.2.x. Try installing ipfw instead.
