Panther Server firewall shutdown?

[Chris Murphy]

Server is 10.3.9 and is headless, but a keyboard is available so I  
have to do this totally blind. On 10.4 it would be easy: sudo ipfw  
disable firewall but apparently that's an ipfw2 feature, which  
Panther server isn't running.

Since I have no feedback, I don't know what the PID is for ipfw in  
order to kill it. I also don't know if it gets killed, if there is  
some daemon that will relaunch ipfw anyway. And if that's the case  
what I need to do is swap out ipfw.conf with ipfw.bak and then  
relaunch ipfw.

(Another user set the firewall to block various things, including SSL  
so now we can't use ARD, ssh or Server Admin, so now an on-site user  
needs to be told how to disable or reset the firewall to preview  
settings without the aid of a display.)

Suggestions?
