IPFW2 is the next version of the IPFW software. IPFW2 is the standard version of IPFW in 5-CURRENT, but changes to the configuration were so significant that it would have violated POLA to MFC it to 4-STABLE. Instead it was made a compile time option. It was added to 4-STABLE on 23 July (after the RELENG_4_6 branch was created), so it is in recent -STABLE and will be in 4.7-RELEASE. To enable, add: options IPFW2 to your kernel config (together with the other options to enable IPFW), and add: IPFW2= TRUE to /etc/make.conf Original announcement on freebsd-stable@freebsd.org: http://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=59316+0+archive/2002/freebsd-ipfw/20020728.freebsd-ipfw Works perfectly for me, worth installing just for the "keepalives" feature.
