Fix "IP address is not assigned" troubleshooting
The first "succeeds" without sudo: % /usr/libexec/ApplicationFirewall/socketfilterfw --add /usr/libexec/bootpd Application at path ( /usr/libexec/bootpd ) added to firewall But then the next command fails: % /usr/libexec/ApplicationFirewall/socketfilterfw --unblock /usr/libexec/bootpd The application is not part of the firewall Running the first command with sudo works: % sudo /usr/libexec/ApplicationFirewall/socketfilterfw --add /usr/libexec/bootpd Application at path ( /usr/libexec/bootpd ) added to firewall % /usr/libexec/ApplicationFirewall/socketfilterfw --unblock /usr/libexec/bootpd Incoming connection to the application is permitted It looks like Apple bug, the first command should fail if the application was not added to the firewall.
