| Hmmm. I do indeed have both "ipfilter" and "ipfw" support enabled in | my kernel. However, I am currently using only "ipfw" firewall rules | (in /etc/rc.firewall). I've been considering the idea of switching | over to the new "ipfilter" facility, but I haven't had time yet. Is ipfilter newer/better/smarter/faster/etc than ipfw? I've always been under the assumption that ipfw was the "built-in" packet filtering code and ipfilter was a kind of add-on filtering that wasn't as built-in. Is this correct or am I missing out? I've got no complaints about ipfw and haven't needed to consider ipfilter. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
