Okay, this part "Has any important bugs been fixed in PF on OpenBSD since the current port in FreeBSD that actually makes the current PF in FreeBSD "dangerous" to run with?" was actually a really stupid question! The.. http://svnweb.freebsd.org/base/vendor-sys/pf/4.5.002/?view=log .. shows that the last import was for tag 4.5.002 5 years and 3 month ago! Going back to that time in the OpenBSD CVS log and then scrolling up until present day shows quite a bunch of REALLY important fixes! I am NOT talking about the changes made by the OpenBSD guys, just bug and error fixes! http://cvsweb.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/src/sys/net/pf.c Problems that can cause kernel crashes, fixes for PF crashing faults, out-of-memory errors, leak of states, and a whole lot of other important stuff. Nobody in their right mind would run the current version of PF on FreeBSD! I am sorry, but how can someone be so stupid as to get a whole bunch of new features into a product that seriously needs upgrading first!? Whats going on FreeBSD? You used to be all about quality, now you're all about "bleeding edge features" and don't give a s*** about the rest? Linux can get away with that crap ONLY because such a huge bunch of people and organisations are running and supporting it, they have a LOT of people developing stuff and fixing stuff really quick, FreeBSD haven't got that user base! It needs to be about quality over features! Like in the good old 4.x and 5.x days! Martin
