Programatically configuring the firewall entirely defeats the firewall.

Check if it is on. If it is, tell the user to turn it off. The firewall is useless.

Hi All,
I am pretty new to the Mac OS and I need to know how to configure the Firewall Exceptions Programmatically, like add application exception or port exception on to the firewall.
 
I searched the list, They all metioned that we don't have APIs to do that. I am wondering if it is still true for Mac OS10?
 
One thread methioned that ipfw may do the trick, can someone tell me how?
 
Where is the Firewall information is saved in the system?
 
Thanks a lot everyone!
 
Gordon
