This functionality comes with OpenBSD 3.5 which will be shipping may, 1st. = We=20 are working on the import already and hope to be ready by that date as well= =2E=20 The benefit of pf's group syntax and implementation of it, is that you will= =20 not have a fnmatch / strncmp call per packet (as is the case for ipfw at th= e=20 moment). The group syntax will also work with on renamed interfaces, i.e.=20 after "ifconfig ppp0 name wan0" pf will still apply "ppp"-rules to the wan0= =20 interface. We might make this behavior optional - not quite sure at the=20 moment as interface renaming is a bit of a new concept and we don't have mu= ch=20 experience with how it is/should be used. http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/bsd/2004/04/15/pf_developers.html gives a good= =20 overview of the changes made during the last two releases (3.4/3.5) and als= o=20 describes the new interface handling in some detail. =2D-=20 Best regards, | mlaier@freebsd.org Max Laier | ICQ #67774661 http://pf4freebsd.love2party.net/ | mlaier@EFnet --Boundary-02=_ERniAUwTHWjB1UZ Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Description: signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQBAinREXyyEoT62BG0RAoanAJ9fRvpsrmM2HA7tEHHGKqTUZ+oV5gCfXWu8 RT7+u9HcG0O4M0e2Yg9g/uM= =R1+j -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Boundary-02=_ERniAUwTHWjB1UZ--
