Hi all, What should I know before deciding on one of ipf or IPFW for a -stable machine protecting a small network? From what I recall, ipf had a few advantages like kernel-space NAT, keeping TCP state, and portability. What does IPFW do better than ipf? Are there any gross downsides to either? Thanks. -- Nathan Dorfman <nathan@rtfm.net> [http://www.rtfm.net] "The light at the end of the tunnel is the headlight of an approaching train." --/usr/games/fortune To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-security" in the body of the message
