Re: pf for FreeBSD

2004-09-28 Thread shane mullins
   Why not just run OpenBSD if you want to use pf?  I use both Free and 
OpenBSD.  But, pf is much easier to set up on OpenBSD.  Just install 
OpenBSD, enable routing, enable pf in rc.conf and you are done.

Subject: pf for FreeBSD


   hello folks,
   i want to install the packet filter for FreeBSD so i recompile the
kernel with the options :
device  bpf
options PFIL_HOOKS
options RANDOM_IP_ID
and installed pf from ports ( i did a cvsup before installing to
get the latest ports). Now my dilemma is ... in pf start script ... i
have to enter a prefix ... but what prefix, 'cause after installing and
rebooting  the modules that I want to load are still in source
directory . I installed pf with
  make  WITH_ALTQ=yes
  make install
 after a deinstall I can't install it anymore, the install
crashes with the error that is allready installed !!
  What can I do ??/
   Cristi

Re: Which Distro?

What do you mean by distro?  FreeBSD doesn't have distrobutions by vendors.
It is a complete OS in itself.  I you mean version, if you are new to
FreeBSD, I would suggest 4.10.

I am not a Mac user by any means, but I think FreeBSD supports newer Macs.

 1) There is no FreeBSD port for the PPC.  (Or rather, there is,
 not usable as far as I know.)  If you insist on running pure-strain
 UNIX try NetBSD.
 2) Many programs which run on FreeBSD have a version for OS X.
