Default firewall configuration values

Question

Hi,
I've trying to modify my ipfw rules and i got the idea of use a script. After use it i cannot conect to internet and i reverted those new rules but there is one rule that start with my mac and i need to " sufo ipfw flush" to flush it and connect again
it is "add 65534 deny log logamount 1000 ip from any to any in"
I searched the firewall.conf file  on /etc/ folder and re-write
"65535 0 0 allow ip from any to any" instead the other one
The problem is that im not sure is this is the preconfigured value, if anyone know what are those values and can write here I'll be grateful with you (:

I agree that getting default method parameter values implemented will be a good thing.
If you really have a large number of methods (>5) that usally just add a parameter with a default value, you could introduce a "Parameter Object" that contains the defaults for the parameters. The drawback is of course an extra indirection to get to the parameter.
class MyParameterClass() {
  String name = "";
  boolean sort = false;
  List values = Collections.EMPTY_LIST;
  Date date = new Date();
myMethod(String arga, String argb) {
   return myMethod(arga, argb, new MyParameterClass());
myMethod(String arga, String argb, MyParameterClass params) {
}arga and argb are there to illustrate you might have parameters you don't have defaults for. (Yes, you could include them in the constructor of MyParameterClass instead.)
