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.

Agreed.

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.

Um. No. Sun has never done anything this way, and it would be very surprising if they did this. Sun always puts config files in /etc... /opt (and by extension /etc/opt) are for optional 3rd party packages.

But yeah. Man pages should be complete.
