I’m running 4.7-stable, sshd, bind, apache+ssl and I have ipf as firewall. So far ipf performed admirably, but the possibility of being flooded appeared. I don’t recall that ipf has that capability to allow only a certain number of packets to enter (like linux’s iptables), so I’m considering switching to ipfw2. But, I after looking trough the syntax, I haven’t found what I was looking for. So, how can i avoid flood with ipfw2. Thank you, Daniel ________________________________________________________________________ Want to chat instantly with your online friends? Get the FREE Yahoo!
