A list of (links to) the articles can be found at: http://www.onlamp.com/pub/ct/15 There is a series of articles covering IPFW -- the first was published on April 25, 2001. (The articles are listed in reverse chronological order.) While you're there, scan the list for other cool articles. By the way, if you really like OpenBSD's pf documentation, you might consider using pf in FreeBSD. It is available by default in FreeBSD 5.3; and as a port for FreeBSD 4 STABLE (/usr/ports/security/pf). The OpenBSD documentation is easily applied to FreeBSD. Best of luck, Andrew Gould
