ip6fw has been depreciated starting with 7.0. As per the 7.0 Release notes found here: http://www.freebsd.org/releases/7.0R/relnotes.html >>>The ip6fw(8) packet filter has been removed. Since ipfw(4) has gained IPv6 >>>support, it should be used >>>instead. Please note that some rules might >>>need to be adjusted. Take a look at the FreeBSD handbook for a start on how to use ipfw: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/handbook/firewalls-ipfw.html and IPv6 here: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/handbook/network-ipv6.html And of course, make sure to: 'man 8 ipfw' for all of the details, or peruse online here: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=ipfw Make certain to read the section labeled "TRAFFIC SHAPER (DUMMYNET) CONFIGURATION" Good Luck. -_Dave > > So I wanna know is the ip6fw has been compiled into the GENERIC kernel?
