In some mail from Tom Limoncelli, sie said: > > Thanks to everyone that answered my questions.

It is defaintely not a superset of IPFilter or ipfw or any of the other free packet filtering systems. It should simply say pf includes the listed features. You also do not mention SunScreen. Version 3.1(Lite) came with Solaris8, 3.2 will be bundled with Solaris9 (don't know if this is the Lite version or not). Don't know if anyone actually uses it, either.
