Leopard Firewall - ipfw script inherited in migration

While trying today to find out why I can't connect TO either of my
Leopard machines on the LAN using iChat over Bonjour, I found that--
contrary to expectations resulting from articles on the Leopard
firewall in various places, my Mini did inherit the ipfw firewall I
had built using Flying Buttress. The firewall log revealed that it
was the ipfw firewall that was blocking incoming Bonjour ichat. So
far, I haven't found other desired actions blocked by the ipfw firewall.

Note: I'm basing this statement on the output of
sudo ipfw list
run in a Terminal window in an Admin account.
