Seeing ipfilter sitting in /usr/src/contrib, in a mostly disfunctional state, I find it irritating. Why not replace ipfw with it, I can find no advantage that ipfw has, other then being old and traditional. It is clearly better, and if its not integrated because it doesnt work, that is incorrect. When the first version came out with a freebsd port, proff patched it all up and it worked great. His patches may still be rotting in incoming on ftp.freebsd.org. I mean 3.0 is going to have SMP, why not give it a modern firewall program.
