I've seen numerous discussions about updating the ipfilter (and pfil) in the release version of Solaris 10. But, I don't recall seeing *why* people were doing it.
Is there a known flaw or deficiency in the 4.0.2 (which Darren notes is actually closer to 4.1) that ships with the release version of Solaris 10? Is there a security problem? Just new features added?
Perhaps Darren is the best person to answer this, but if anyone else knows what the pro's and con's are of doing this, I'd love to hear details.
Thanks...
