Thank You Danny It won't have some of the most current goodness (like the new kernel pppoe(4) driver) mentioned, but the underlying concepts are all still valid.

Hi All, Could anyone please tell me if the book Building firewalls with OpenBSD and PF (found at Amazon), would still be applicable today, or is it a bit outdated. Thank You Danny A few small thigns have been added to pf since. More significantly, some much larger networking features (trunking, for instance) have been added. But on the whole the book (especially the 2nd edition) is a still pretty much as fantastic as the day it came out. Get it. You will like it. The OpenBSD ordering systems sells it too.

Thank You Danny I don't know this book but IMO you don't have to buy a book after reading (and of course understanding) the manpages and docs at http://openbsd.org/faq/pf/index.html - you will need no pf-book anymore. After I have read your mail more exaclty I saw that this wasn't your question. Sorry for that. -- Oliver Peter, email: [EMAIL PROTECTED], ICQ# 113969174 Worker bees can leave.
