There's been a lot of work gone into FreeBSD network stack to add capabilities that OpenBSD simply doesn't have -- mostly to do with fine-grained locking, multiprocessing support and virtualization -- all of which makes the importing process pretty non-trivial. Cheers, Matthew PS. Mac OS X Lion now uses PF for firewalling too. Apparently it's even older than the PF in FreeBSD: http://quigon.bsws.de/papers/2011/pf10yrs/mgp00078.html --=20 Dr Matthew J Seaman MA, D.Phil. 7 Priory Courtyard Flat 3 PGP: http://www.infracaninophile.co.uk/pgpkey Ramsgate JID: matthew@infracaninophile.co.uk Kent, CT11 9PW --------------enig4A5B03A08ADEC44E0E73F3E1 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG/MacGPG2 v2.0.16 (Darwin) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAk55pRIACgkQ8Mjk52CukIxWrACfe6oVQyk9j7K2FXccNWLxMYYC CJ0Anjlxc+sr7buOR1i31n8Kn7e8UZib =qq70 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------enig4A5B03A08ADEC44E0E73F3E1--
