Yes, and my question was how to get a port to 4.9. I am aware of the 
port being available for 5.0, 5.1.

I would like to know if anyone has gotten it to run on 4.9 and what 
patches were necessary.

Thanks


All you had to do is go look for it in the port collection your
self,
here is the direct link.

List,

Anyone know if there is a way to get PF to port to FreeBSD 4.9?

Thanks

PF has been just ported to FBSD. I don't know if ipf & pf have a
common code background, but I do know pf & ipf have totally
different rule processing logic though the rules do look some what
common. When it comes to using variables on the rule set, that is
just the normal function of shell processing. Ipfw, ipf, and pf
can
all be buried inside of an shell script and perform variable
substitution.
In FBSD the rc.conf statement for pointing to the directory
location
of the ipf rules can not process a script. You just point that
rc.conf statement to an empty file just to get the system up. Then
you have script in the startup application directory that executes
to load the ipf rules.  Works great.

Hi,

Here's a question that might seem trivial:

What's the relationship between the freebsd ipf and the openbsd
pf?
Are they
the same thing, or are they separately developed branches of a
common
codebase?  Or maybe they are totally different.  I ask this
because
I was
looking around for guides for ipf.rules, and some of the openbsd
pf
examples
look similar, but some command syntax are different.  The openbsd
pf.conf
example had the ability to define variables of ip addresses,
interface names,
etc, but it doesn't seem to work with ipf.rules.  Is there any way
to define
variables in ipf.rules?
please cc me in your responses cause I'm not subscribed to the
list
thanks so much
jonathan
