Hi, I am having confuse with the ipfilter and the kernel setup. I have setup a firewall on FreeBSD 5.4 with ipfilter. The rc.conf which include: ipfilter_enable="YES" ipfilter_rules="/etc/ipf.rules" ipmon_enable="YES" ipmon_flags="-Ds" I didn't compile the kernel with: options IPFILTER options IPFILTER_LOG Then the ipfilter cannot start on boot with the error: link_elf: symbol in6_cksum undefined kldload: can't load ipl: No such file or directory /etc/rc: ERROR: IP-filter module failed to load I know this error is something about missing the /dev/ipl file or else. If I compile the kernel with the above options then I can start it on boot. So, I am confuse. The handbook say you don't need compile it mandatory. But why I can't start without the options compile ? Am I miss something in order to load the module without compile the options ? Or actually, it must be compile within the kernel ? --------------------------------- Yahoo! for Good Click here to donate to the Hurricane Katrina relief effort.
