You will get the following error when you try to restart/start apf every time.
apf(660): {glob} !!DEVELOPMENT MODE ENABLED!! – firewall will flush every 5 minutes.
This is because of the development mode enabled in APF configuration file. You can disable it by editing the configuration file.
Details from APF configuration file regarding development mode:
# !!! Do not leave set to (1) !!!
# When set to enabled; 5 minute cronjob is set to stop the firewall. Set
# this off (0) when firewall is determined to be operating as desired.
DEVEL_MODE=”1″
Edit the configuration file and set DEVEL_MODE=”0″, then restart APF using the command “apf -r“.
