Overview
Ipfwadm-wrapper emulates the behaviour of ipfwadm. You can use this wrapper to use your old ipfwadm firewall rules with ipchains. See ipfwadm(8) for more details.
If the kernel does not support ipchains (eg. a 2.0 kernel), and the file /sbin/ipfwadm.real exists and is executable, then it will be executed with the arguments given to ipfwadm-wrapper. This allows simple dual-booting of 2.2 and 2.0 kernels with the same firewalling scripts: simply move ipfwadm to ipfwadm.real, and ipfwadm-wrapper to ipfwadm.
