Bonjour mon ami,
I got two queries on the same night from France about my "how to
install public-domain ipfilter on Solaris 10" document. Both concerned missing copies of /usr/sbin/pfild. IN both cases, I think that
the problem appears because the public domain version of pfil
was not installed. I do not have /usr/sbin/pfild on my Solaris 10
box, nor do I need it.
Chris Ross asked "why upgrade from the version shipped with Solaris 10?".
In my case, I like to run the latest-and-greatest version. My S10
box (a V210 with two cpus) is not in production so I can afford to have it panic if ipfilter has problems. There were numerous fixes between 4.0.2 and 4.1.8. So far it has been rock-solid. My two cents.
BTW, I continue to run 3.4.31 on all of my Solaris 8 and 9 boxes.

Not switching config due to load error.
in fact, /usr/sbin/pfild is present in SUNWipfu, but not in pfil.pkg nor ipf.pkg
ok, getting it from sun packages, installing it, and it works now
