Hi all

I have been informed by a friend that
<quote>
"there have been many updates to the IPFW code including a nasty bug with
sateful (sic) firewalling that is fixed in 4.3."
</quote>

The only reference to ipfw updates I could find since the release of 4.0 is in
the release notes for 4.3, viz:
"...A bug in ipfw(8) and ip6fw(8) in which inbound TCP segments could
incorrectly be treated as being part of an "established" connection
has been fixed (see security advisory FreeBSD-SA-01:08)...."

Am I missing something???

TIA
/wiZZ
