OK I just tested plain out of the box Solaris 10 sparc ipfilter on an
Enterprise 250 with a quad fast Ethernet card and my adsl connection.

I was able to connect and the firewall was filtering on the sppp0 interface.

I saw two problems:-

1.  The ipnat.conf file would not accept the mssclamp option I normally use.

2. I could not get my pptp vpn connection to establish.

To get ipf to work on sppp0 interfaces you need to:-

1. make sure that the plink option is in /etc/ppp/options

2. make sure that the following line is in /etc/ipf/pfil.ap

        "sppp    -1      0       pfil"

I then took the old /etc/rc2.d/S65ipfboot startup script and modified it
with the new file locations and everything was working.  This makes life so
much easier then the way that Sun are recommending in their documentation.

Let me know if I can help.....

Regards,

Adam
