I think that if you mess with the ipfw rules, the built-in personal

Well, actually it's more a complete mess from a UI point of view than
anything.
Let's say the Firewall is running (both from an ipfw point of view and
the Firewall sharing pref pane):
o you add a NOP rule with:
sudo ipfw add allow ip from any to any
o Next time you try to access the Firewall Sharing Pref Pane:
* the UI is disabled ("other Firewall software is running..."), the
Start button is set to 'Start' but the text description on the right is
"Click Stop to allow incoming network communication..."
* BUT the Firewall is not disabled since the ipfw rules (the "built-in"
ones and yours) are up and running (net.inet.ip.fw.enable: 1 for
instance)
This may have changed a bit in 10.4 (I'm looking at this on 10.3.9) so
maybe the text description is less incorrect.
