You won't see much about ipfilter outside of *BSD and Solaris - the patches haven't been updated since 2.0.34 or so (early 1998!). > I've farted around the net looking for stuff and I keep coming up dry. > I seem to recall a kernel patch awhile back...<?> Mostly because almost no one uses, and is interested in maintaining (it seems like) ipfilter on Linux. Linux has it's own firewalling/NAT setup (ipfwadm/ipmasqadm on 2.0.x, ipchains on 2.2.x, and netfilter in 2.3.x/2.4.x). -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Phil Brutsche [EMAIL PROTECTED] "There are two things that are infinite; Human stupidity and the universe.
