Hello world,

I've been trying to get IP Filter 2.8.2 to work on a FreeBSD box
(Compaq 386/25, 8MB RAM, FreeBSD 2.0.5 [the FreeBSD 2.1 CDs
haven't made it to Germany yet ;-( ])

I managed to compile and install the software according to the
instructions. Loading the kernel module and the rules also seems
to work.  However, the kernel panics fairly soon after the rules
have been loaded with a message "panic: malloc - bogus type".

I contacted Darren Reed about it, but except for a short note saying
that he had run into the problem a long time ago (and fixed it), he
only said that it does work on his FreeBSD system...

From what else I've seen from the software it looks like a nice piece
of work, and I would like to use it, but if it doesn't work... :-(

Has anyone succeeded in getting IP Filter to work (and maybe run into
the same problem along the way)?

Gerhard
