I've been disappointed with the aparent absence of HOW TO documents for freebsd (at least that can be located from the freebsd.org website). bsdtoday has a how too link, and i was surprised to find exactly what i was looking for, through that site, but located at http://people.freebsd.org/~jkb/howto.html This is exactly the document I was looking for. Why don't we have a how too link on the freebsd main page? I feel that this type of usefull information could really help if it were also included in the documentation that comes with freebsd. There's a wealth of information about the specifics of how to write complex ipfw rules, but I've not been able to find a single document that gives you the bare bones of what you need to do to enable ipfw. The closes i found on the distribution documentation is an article about dialup ppp firewalling, and it appears to be out of date to the point that the instructions don't work with freebsd 4.1. Please consider putting together a HOW TO page and putting a link to it on the main freebsd site under documentation. We need it. Peter Brezny SysAdmin Services, Inc.
