freebsd stable - Dec 2008 - ipfw2.c,v 1.76.2.17

Hi.

Since this revision (appeared in 6.3) I think ipfw violates POLA.
I mean "ipfw table N list" shows values of table in Internet
'.' notation.

A friend of mine was surprised to found Internet representation
of this "optional 32-bit unsigned value".

For example security/bruteblock stores unix timestamps here
and AFAICS there is no possibility to come back to the previous
output format (other than reverting this revision).

That was fixed 8 months ago. Just upgrade to 6.4.

Thank you all!
And please forgive me my laziness, not allowed to check up last
