Hello everyone,

I'm new to the list so please forgive me if this is a stupid question
or addressed recently.

I have a solaris 10 box configured as a router / firewall / nat
box. It works great except with respect to ipv6. IPv6 (6to4) itself
works great. However, it seems that the version of ipfilter bundled
with Solaris 10 (v4.0.2) only supports blocking ipv6 entirely. I
understand that newer versions support IPv6 with the ipf6.conf
file. For past versions of Solaris I've built and installed
ipfilter. Several months ago I had tried to remove the Solaris bundled
version and replace it with a newer version. (Unfortunately I don't
recall which version.)  The results were unpleasant. Frequent system
panics. I wasn't sure whether I had failed to completely remove the
bundled package or if the newer version didn't support solaris 10 yet.

Anyway, to make a long story short I was wondering if ipfilter 4.1.8
was known to work with Solaris 10 configured as an IPv6 6to4
relay. Also, if there are any tricky steps relating to removing the
bundled version that I should be conscious of. Or if someone has some
insight into Sun's ipfilter upgrade plans for Solaris 10 and know a
patch is on its way.

Thanks,
  logan
