Hi,
i am interessted in installing fwbuilder (for the first time) so in
the extras i found the following:
1) fwbuilder-2.0.5-3.i386.rpm 23-Jan-2005 21:22 1.3M
2) fwbuilder-ipf-2.0.5-3.i386.rpm 23-Jan-2005 21:22 161K
3) fwbuilder-ipfw-2.0.5-3.i386.rpm 23-Jan-2005 21:22 114K
4) fwbuilder-ipt-2.0.5-3.i386.rpm 23-Jan-2005 21:22 223K
5) fwbuilder-pf-2.0.5-3.i386.rpm 23-Jan-2005 21:22 125K
i haven't installed it yet, but i think i need only packages 1) and
4). Or will i miss some functionality without installing the others? I
did some research, and found that pf is almost used on OpenBSD, but i
didn't see what ipf and ipfw is differing and what they are good for.
from http://www.fwbuilder.org/archives/cat_faq.html
Table 1. Firewall Builder can generate configuration for the following
iptables Linux (kernel 2.4.x and 2.6.x)
ipfilter FreeBSD, OpenBSD, Solaris
ipfw FreeBSD, MacOS X
pf OpenBSD
Can you help? Thaaaaaaaaaaanks :-)
Roger
Hth,
Alex
Thanks Alex,
This would mean, you just really need 1) and 4) - Thanks a lot
;-) Roger
