I'm a PF user from FreeBSD, and while I like it, I find IPF to be a solid contender. That said, solid choices don't hurt, but from my point of view, this isn't a 'gotta-have-it'. I don't see the desire to have the same commands and syntax in various operating systems, to me it breeds complacency and would allow propogation of mistakes from one environment to another. (yep, glass is half empty, but everyone else's glass was pouring over)

Hello,

Some of us love the Packet Filter (PF) from OpenBSD.

It would be awesome to have this available on illumos as alternative to ipf.
We (sjorge and xenol) played around with the idea of a kickstarter. The budget 
required for that would probably be much more than what we can collect.

But not trying is not a winning move. Is there any other interest in this from 
anyone in the illumos community?

Cheers,
Adam and Jorge
