One ports tree, one system to patch for security updates. The learning curve to use FreeBSD's pf is negligible imo. As long as kernel support is compiled in for it, and you have the users in your /etc/passwd it just works. Least for me as I have been using it since it was introduced as a kernel kld, and sometime shortly after it became a native module to freebsd. Its imo easier to maintain that say ipfw, as well as faster. -----Original Message----- From: shane mullins [mailto:tsmullins@optidynamic.com] Sent: Tuesday, September 28, 2004 2:34 PM To: Cristi Tauber Cc: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: pf for FreeBSD Why not just run OpenBSD if you want to use pf? I use both Free and OpenBSD. But, pf is much easier to set up on OpenBSD. Just install OpenBSD, enable routing, enable pf in rc.conf and you are done.
