I once asked this but there was no response. Is there any chance of
IP-Filter being integrated into the 'official' kernel sources? I am
somewhat wary of patching the kernel (especially as people mentioned
problems on FBSD versions other than the one for which patches were
intended).
I do not use IP-Filter now (the address deficit here is not acute just yet)
but I am really interested in its flexible packet filtering capabilities
(firewall).
