If you're right, it SHOULD really be specified in bridge(4), but I'm not very sure about this, since I see states with pfctl and no packets are dropped in my case (except maybe in scp from internet to sr01) ! Finally, I have found the main problem. Both for ipf/pf, I have to set sysctl "net.link.ether.bridge.ipf" to 1... That does'nt exists on FreeBSD 4X. After that, incoming traffic is filtered (accounting works, blocking rules too). We REALLY need to specify this in FreeBSD handbook (sections 14.9 - firewalls and 24.5.4 - bridging) and Migration Guide of 5X, since it could be a big security hole. My last problem is that scping from sr01 to internet that stalled after 144KB exactly (internet to sr01 works) ! This is a pf issue, since it occurs only when pf is enabled. -- Clement Moulin SimpleRezo - Simplifiez-vous le reseau ! Web: http://www.simplerezo.com/
