When I first saw ipfw I thought it must be old and obsolete, because it's been around for a long time, whereas Linux has had lots of different firewalls, with ipfw being in 2.0, ipchains in 2.2 and ipfilter in 2.4. ipfw in FreeBSD is just like ipfilter in Linux - it too can do connection tracking, and just like while in Linux you've got iptables in the user-space and ipfilter in the kernel, in FreeBSD there's ipfirewall in the kernel and ipfw is the user-space control program. I don't know much about firewalling in FreeBSD since I've not been using it all that long, but from what I understand, ipfw has taken over from ipf as the main firewalling system. -- Bruce Cran To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
