My two cents, you may not be able to do this... Upgrade to Solaris 10,
and use Sun's version of ipfilter (4.0.3). At least they will look at
a crash dump at that point. If you need features beyond 4.0.3, then
you can install Darren's version onto S10, taking your chances.

Subject: Solaris 9 crashes with IP Filter
Has anyone any experience of recent IP Filter releases totally hanging the
system?
As in becomes unresponsive and only a STOP-A will let you generate a crash
dump.
Details:
We are using the NAT function but only for it's proxy to make FTP work
Solaris 9
ipf 4.1.13
pfil 2.1.11
A case with the crash-dump sent to Sun, only results in "non-Solaris
software, remove it".
Which is not really helpful as we need some kind of software firewall.
What other alternatives are there for Solaris 9 anyhow?
I am compiling 4.1.17 on the hopes that might fix it.
