For those of you ipfilter users (and those of you curious why people prefer ipfilter over ipfw), a new HOW-TO has been written for ipfilter by Brenden Conoboy & Erik Fichtner. It is available at http://www.obfuscation.org/ipf/ipf-howto.txt * This HOWTO is still under development, some sections are even empty * Some things it discusses: - Rule processing & precedence - Keeping States (real-states, not just what the packet says) - Returning ICMP & RST packets - Setting up ipnat (Name to Address Translation) - ipmon & ipfstat I found it useful, as we're about to setup a nice dual-PII 400 (not that a firewall takes up much CPU, it just happened to be around) ipfilter/ipnat/socks/squid proxy. -- ====================================================================== thomas r. stromberg smtp://tstromberg@rtci.com assistant is manager / systems guru http://thomas.stromberg.org research triangle commerce, inc. finger://thomas@stromberg.org 'om mani padme hung' pots://1.919.380.9771:3210 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- <geek> GPS $GCS d? s: a-- C+++ $UB++++ $US+++ $P++++ L- E- W++ N w- V-- PE-- Y+ tv-- b+++ e h r G D-- $DI++ t+ rbt C B++ xi xw !D </geek> ================================================================[eof]= To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-security" in the body of the message
