While I don't know ipfw all that well, I have been using ipf since my days (not so long ago) as a fresh green FreeBSD newb. I've never had any problems with it, either in terms of configuration difficulties or at runtime. It's even helped fight off a massive DDoS attack very nicely. Note that I'm not casting a vote for ipf here, I'm just informing you of my positive experiences. --=20 Adam <blueeskimo@gmx.net> --=-lJifoQqYDjVp/5iOBsIi Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.1 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQA+pnS9u3o4GBMSDL4RAma9AKCSpgN6Db8MVqh9oOmoewAJ/Yc42ACglo4s mpZsambldrpg1hlEbyFE6DU= =28QC -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-lJifoQqYDjVp/5iOBsIi--
