Hey you guys.

I've just got my FreeBSD 4.4 gateway working, and all
is good so far, but I am interested in setting up a
firewall on the pc.

I think I understand that IPF and IPFILTER are the
same thing, right?

And, IPF and IPFW are both programs that can be used
for firewall set up on FreeBSD.  

So, I ask you, what is the difference?  Is one a
replacement for the other? or what?

Also, and good docs you can point me to would be
wonderful. 


Thanks,


-Donnie
