This isn't tested but this is what I was thinking of doing after observing my install on FreeBSD 4.7. I think it probably makes sense to stop ipf in case of an unload conflict. Some very early experience with Solaris when it first came out has left its mark on me when unloading 3rd party drivers. You can just reboot but I didn't want to pull a microsoft on you ;-) % make freebsd4 % make install-bsd % ls -l /modules/ipf.ko rwxrwxr-x 1 root wheel 303936 Feb 3 05:07 /modules/ipf.ko % kldstat Id Refs Address Size Name 1 2 0xc0100000 42797c kernel 2 1 0xc0528000 1b650 ipf.ko % kldunload -i 2 % cd /modules; /sbin/kldload ipf.ko % ipf -V ipf: IP Filter: v3.4.31 (336) Kernel: IP Filter: v3.4.31 Running: yes Log Flags: 0 = none set Default: pass all, Logging: available Active list: 1 Jim
