The only way to do a rem_drv ipf is to run /etc/init./ipfboot stop. Otherwise you get the "device busy" error message. I stopped ipf and and ran "rem_drv ipf" and then "add_drv ipf", Then restarted ip filter via the start script. I still don't have a ipstate file in the dev directory and "ipfstat -t" still returns the same error: "open: No such file or directory", any ideas?
