No, for FreeBSD you can use ipfilter or ipfw. ipfw is the standard packet filter for FreeBSD. Linux emulation on FreeBSD is used to translate Linux system calls to FreeBSD system calls. iptables must be compiled in the linux kernel or is used as a linux kernel module, that's why it cannot be used in FreeBSD > PacketFilter runs in freebsd as well?

I like ipfilter, more than ipfw, but i use both at the same time. ipfilter for packet filtering and ipfw for dummynet (qos) Greetings, Richard. ---- An OS is like swiss cheese, the bigger it is, the more holes you get!
