Hi guys. I just ended looking into Ipfirewall 2.0 and Ipfilter 2.7.XXX (whatever version is last accessible from the web page:). So my idea on topic is as following: 1) As i noticed in my last mail IpFirewall 2.0 has IP options functionality which ipfw has not. 2) Same applies to IpFilter. 3) There is no any other difference in functionality which present in both those filters and lacks in ipfw. 4) There is a lot of things like ipacct, automatic sorting of rules etc. which are part of ipfw and has no compatible features in others. So i am not thinking of changin ipfw to any of those two and i don't think doing so by anybody else would be wise move:) On the contrary i am going to add ipoptions features in the next two weeks so that ipfw will gain more functionality then both other filter packages. My plans are far beyond what any other filtering package for today can do (or even planning as far as i understand). Thank you. *IMHO* --Ugen
