My firewall of choice: IPFilter, mainly because of my Sun Solaris / SunOS roots. Why I don't switch: "If it isn't broken...". I'm reading: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/firewalls-ipf.html Section 30.5.3 lists the options one can use in rc.conf but only those for IPv4, people using IPv6 are left in the dark. >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: (note that these are only suggestions) Add the following line: ipv6_ipfilter_rules="/etc/ipf6.rules" # loads rules definition text file for IPv6 ..after this existing line: ipfilter_rules="/etc/ipf.rules" # loads rules definition text file >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
