[ale] Firewall quickie

[Tom & JaVonn]

Dow:

I suspect that "stop" could cause problems, due to "$IPCHAINS -P forward DENY" ???
( this is pmfirewall on an old server, at a client whose management I'm on bad terms with)

#####STOP FIREWALL####
stop)
     echo ""
     echo -n "Shutting down PMFirewall:"
     $IPCHAINS -F input
     $IPCHAINS -F output
     $IPCHAINS -F forward
     $IPCHAINS -P forward DENY
     echo "		Done!"
     echo "" ;;
