Found a solution to my problem. One must add an entry to /etc/make.conf and then you can rebuild the module, load it, and get the firewall going with no reboot. Below is a summary of doing this with my TEST kernel having the INET6 option commented out. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- su-3.00# kldload -v ipl kldload: can't load ipl.ko: No such file or directory su-3.00# uname -a FreeBSD localhost 5.3-STABLE FreeBSD 5.3-STABLE #0: Mon Mar 14 16:08:45 EST 2005 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/TEST i386 must add NOINET6=YES to /etc/make.conf before you make the new module..... su-3.00# cd /usr/src/sys/modules/ipfilter/ su-3.00# make su-3.00# make install su-3.00# kldload -v ipl Nothing returned to therefore loaded properly...!!!!! su-3.00# kldstat Id Refs Address Size Name 1 6 0xc0400000 59f308 kernel 2 1 0xc15fb000 17000 linux.ko 3 1 0xc1670000 16000 ipl.ko su-3.00# ipfstat -in empty list for ipfilter(in) su-3.00# ipfstat -on empty list for ipfilter(out) su-3.00# ipf -Fa -f /etc/ipf.rules This locks up your session.
