ip-fil3.4.16 installation information: make freebsd3 make install-bsd FreeBSD-3/kinstall build a new kernel install the new kernel if not using DEVFS, create devices for IP Filter as follows: mknod /dev/ipl c 79 0 mknod /dev/ipnat c 79 1 mknod /dev/ipstate c 79 2 mknod /dev/ipauth c 79 3 reboot ipf documentation mentions 'make freebsd3' and 'make freebsd4' does not work for a FreeBSD 4.2-RELEASE box. What is the arguement to 'make' for a 4.2-RELEASE box? For 'make install-bsd', would it be better to do a 'make all install clean-bsd'? What does the step FreeBSD-3/kinstall refer to? How do I know if I am using DEVFS? I am assuming this is the special devices (/dev) filesystem? But I remember an option DEVFS in LINT that I did not compile in. So am I using DEVFS? Also, I want to remove the current implementation of ipf and build the latest version in its place. Is the ipf-purge script located at http://www.freebsddiary.org/ipf-purge.html still valid? I hear some people say that ipf as a LKM is more secure than ipf compiled into the kernel. Is this true? It seems as if the ipfilter and ipnat flags refer to the options listed in their respective manpages. Is this true? I want to CVSup required sources w/o certain ones such as src/games. I understand to use a refuse file, but do not know which programs in FreeBSD are covered by the GNU Public License. If I refused src/gnu, what would end up breaking? tar? Others? Should I simply CVSup src/gnu, just to be safe? TIA. ===== _______________________ Adam Lau USAsportspick.com http://www.usasportspick.com/ 209 Clary Avenue San Gabriel, CA 91776 Phone: +1.626.287.2577 __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
