ipfilter is now part of Solaris 10. To the best of my knowledge, this fact is not noted in the ipfilter documentation, which it could usefully be. It might save someone like myself trying to install it from sources. I realised when the pkgadd gave warnings that it would overwrite some files.

It is also started on Solaris 10 is a an odd way - not the usual /etc/init.d/ipfboot script.

That's because Solaris10 uses the Service Management Facility (SMF) which is part of the new, predictive self-healing technology inside of Solaris.

I guess Darren didn't see it fit to mention that IPFilter has been integrated since we all knew he was in Bejing working at Sun's office there to get it properly integrated into Solaris.
