For the first time in a long time, I need to bump the version
number to deal with a security threat - that of sequential
port number use by NATs (CERT VU#521769.)  With reports of an
exploit of the DNS bug circulating, it seems prudent to push
ahead with getting the patches out now rather than wait until
everyone can get in on the act (if you're using Solaris 10
and the Solaris IPFilter, I suggest you get on the horn and
demand a bug fix as some would like you to wait another month
or more, which I think is unacceptable.)  Both FreeBSD and
NetBSD have the head branch up to date and work is in progress
to get the changes pulled up to the appropriate places.

For those that are wondering what 2022104 is about, what it
means is that instead of putting "set ipf:foo=1234" in /etc/system,
you can add "foo=1234" to /usr/kernel/drv/ipf.conf, i.e.:

name="ipf" parent="pseudo" instance=0 fr_statesize=10101 fr_statemax=20202;

Cheers,
Darren

4.1.30 - Release 24 July 2008

2022104 solaris's driver.conf cannot set timeout values

2020447 IPFilter's NAT can undo name server random port selection

1988795 NetBSD doesn't build with kernel malloc stats

1988782 fr_movequeue can take a short cut

1988669 first nat creation failure prevents further success

1988668 hostmap searching does not work properly

* on some 64bit architectures (such as alpha), the addrfamily_t is packed
~  differently, throwing off the calculations for adf_len

* one too many READ_ENTERs in ip_sync code.

* clean up fr_fastroute a little by removing some #ifdefs and pushing the
~  code around a bit to use the same variables (NetBSD)

* more recent NetBSDs use VOP related macros differently
