I've not played with PF in some time. I don't remember it being that hard. OpenBSD does not have a Java ports package due to the software license that Java is released under. You can build your own build of Java on OpenBSD though. It looks like NetBSD had Java packages. I don't know if there are any licensing restrictions.

I'm migrating the firewall/gateway/router to OpenBSD from Slackware 10, just have a few questions for the resident OpenBSD expert (can't remember the name, it's been so long). Is writing a firewall script in OpenBSD as (comparably) easy as writing one using iptables under Linux? Also, I noticed the installer seems to want to install a shit-ton of packages in one go instead of allowing a more pick-and-choose approach. Is this a true statement or does the "official" CD offer a different approach to package installation? And, because I'm lazy, does Open or NetBSD have a Java compiler and virtual machine? Maybe a port from Linux? I'm leaning towards NetBSD for my laptop and Java is crucial (as well as OpenOffice, but that can be replaced with a similar word processor/spreadsheet). Thanks in advance!
