Well so far there are 3 main stream firewall packages for bsd (that ship with the OS).
IPFW (ip firewall) IPF (ip filter) PF (packet filter) IPFW comes with FreeBSD. IPF runs on any BSD (Free,Net,Open*,BSD/OS) PF comes with OpenBSD. My own taste would be ipf, but i really like some of the options in pf (modulate state will do the same thing as the pix with seq. numbers as an example). * You need to install IPF yourself on OpenBSD. Here is a small list of stuff to help you out on which to pick. man pages for each. ------ man ipf (ipfilter) man ipnat (ipfilter) man ifw (ip firewall) man natd (ip firewall) man pfctl (packet filter) Some howto so you can read up on each ------ http://www.obfuscation.org/ipf/ http://www.deadly.org/pf-howto/ http://www.freebsd-howto.com/HOWTO/Ipfw-HOWTO --- Peter Trifonov <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hello everybody! > > I consider replacement of Cisco PIX 515 (Restricted) > firewall in a small > corporate network with *BSD software firewall.
