IPFW[2] has gained some IPv6 functionality lately and was supposed to replace IP6FW in the long run. It turned out, however, that IPFW[2] is not a complete in-place replacement for IP6FW as IPFW2 syntax has diverted from the IPFW1/IP6FW syntax too much. I am unsure about the plans for IPFW+IPv6 in RELENG_6, HEAD certainly moves to removal of IP6FW, but more testers as required. Any datapoints with HEAD's version of IPFW+IPv6 are much appreciated. -- /"\ Best regards, | [EMAIL PROTECTED] \ / Max Laier | ICQ #67774661 X http://pf4freebsd.love2party.net/ | [EMAIL PROTECTED] / \ ASCII Ribbon Campaign | Against HTML Mail and News
