It is capable to filter IPv6 and part of many if not all *BSDs and can be used on other systems too (e.g. Solaris, Linux, ...). I don't know how well the IPv6 part is ported. At least the FreeBSD manpage tells about IPv6 features. > ipfw > URL missing? Is this extra code? ipfw is part of FreeBSD and capable for working with IPv4. ipfw is the the client part to configure the kernel part. The IPv6 counterpart is named ip6fw which is similar in usage to ipfw but has a reduced featureset - e.g. it's currently not capable of doing statefull filtering. See on www.freebsd.org for the online manpages to get an overview. It's the Filter I currently use localy. > pf > http://www.benzedrine.cx/pf.html > IPv6: yes I can't comment about this. -- B.Walter COSMO-Project http://www.cosmo-project.de [EMAIL PROTECTED] Usergroup [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- The IPv6 Users Mailing List Unsubscribe by sending "unsubscribe users" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
