Hi,

Ipfilter (4.0.2) on Solaris 10 (3/5) for Sparc flat does not work.
I have my old ipf.conf and ipnat.conf files from Solaris 9 for the
box in /etc/ipf (I was running ipfilter 3.4.31 in S9). I can see my
rules with "ipfstat -ioh", but nothing happens.  Connections from
"outside" work with no incrementation of ipfstat counters.  I'm not
happy about having a machine so available, especially after I ran
nmap against it and found all kinds of crap running (like "finger"??
Gimee a break!)  A search of /var/adm/messages reveals:

Feb 15 15:06:13 cayuga ipfilter: [ID 702911 daemon.warning] pfil not configured 
for firewall/NAT operation
Feb 15 15:06:13 cayuga ipf: [ID 774698 kern.info] IP Filter: v4.0.2, running.

Hunh?  What is this about?  Should I upgrade to public domain 4.1.5?
I ran "smpatch" to see if there were any S10 patches out yet, nothing.

I'm playing with the Solaris 10 release on Sparc.  Another gotcha is
the fact that the config files (ipf.conf and ipnat.conf) go into
/etc/ipf, and NOT /etc/opt/ipf.  I stared at the S10 manpages for
ipf, ipfstat, ipmon, etc, and none of these pages make **any**
reference to where the config files live.  I consider this a BUG
in the ipfilter manpages for Solaris 10.

I'll file this.

Also, it would be nice if Sun had a symlink from /etc/opt/ipf -> /etc/ipf
for us old-timers, so we could find the config files.

and I'll look into this as well.
