They have both a MRW> BSDi and a Linux version but seemed disinclined to do a native MRW> FreeBSD port. The bugger-heads at VeriSign discontinued the FreeBSD version for some unknown reason. The perl-native API was broken because they built with a threaded perl, and FreeBSD stock perl is not threaded. Brilliant release engineering, if you ask me. I guess after I pointed that out, they pulled it rather than fixing it. I call them every so often and ask that they release it again but they tend to ignore me. Anyhow, the pfpro command line interface works well, and their perl module can use that instead of the native library calls, if you patch the PFPRO.pm module properly. I can provide those patches if you need. I assume that the linux pfpro binary will run fine with FreeBSD's Linuxalator. Luckily I still have my (patched) freebsd version of the software. I doubt that I can share the whole thing, though, as it is under their copyright. The software works well and is pretty easy to use, but their tech support is way disorganized. If you're lucky to get a response, it is typical closed-source mentality. There is no pride in making bug-free software there, from what I see. -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Vivek Khera, Ph.D. Khera Communications, Inc.
