 I googled now for a longer time and found nothing really apropriate.
 The FreeBSD security howto is a little short, other guides
 don't cover security topics.
 Is there something like OpenBSDs pf-docu for ipfw?

 Thanks a lot
 Florian


Dru Lavigne has a column called FreeBSD Basics at O'Reilly's 
ONLamp.com site.  A list of (links to) the articles can be found at:

http://www.onlamp.com/pub/ct/15

There is a series of articles covering IPFW -- the first was published 
on April 25, 2001.  (The articles are listed in reverse chronological 
order.)

While you're there, scan the list for other cool articles.

By the way, if you really like OpenBSD's pf documentation, you might 
consider using pf in FreeBSD.  It is available by default in FreeBSD 
5.3; and as a port for FreeBSD 4 STABLE (/usr/ports/security/pf).  The 
OpenBSD documentation is easily applied to FreeBSD.

Best of luck,

Andrew Gould

Yes.  'man ipfw(8)'
If that's not in-depth enough for you, I don't know what would
be ;)
