Hello, I am in the process of building a firewall using FreeBsd. I am aware of the firewall built into the kernel (ipfw), but I also see alot of people talking about another package called IPFILTER. I have seen comments stating that IPFILTER is better, but no one has yet to say why or why they prefer it. I would be most appreciative if someone could give a brief overview of the differences as far as functionality is concerned. I have read the how-to's and stuff on FreeBsd Diary but can find nothing that does a comparison of the two. Thanks, Carlton To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
