I have not been able to get ipfilter working on a system and it is because I don't have INET6 in my custom kernel, and therefore the system cannot load the ipl.ko module. Here is the issue: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=70401 Can someone help me understand this following fix? ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fix: Tweak around USE_INET6 option in /sys/contrib/ipfilter/netinet/ip_compat.h to cover the case when there is no INET6 in the kernel and ipfilter is loaded as KLD. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Or should I just go back and compile the GENERIC kernel? There is no problem running the GENERIC kernel from what I can tell. This is a production system, so compiling the kernel makes me nervous. Would I simply do this?: # cd /usr/src # make buildkernel KERNCONF=GENERIC # make installkernel KERNCONF=GENERIC then reboot and that is all right? Thanks, Andy
