Linux Try looking under somewhere under /usr/share, IIRC there are plenty of example IP filter rules there, or read the man pages, or the IP filter web site at <URL:http://cheops.anu.edu.au/~avalon/ip-filter.html>. > and I think other BSDs come with generalized rc files, man pages > installed, etc. but OpenBSD doesn't. OpenBSD does come with rc files (pretty essential ;), and man pages if you install the man.tar.gz set when you install. > Does anyone have some ideas, where to get the information for setting up > OpenBSD or if I should better install other Unix implementation and > recompile/port IP Filter? OpenBSD is a bit fiddly to install, BSD disklabel isn't the friendliest of programs. NetBSD is the next easier, and FreeBSD has a nice menu driven install shell. NetBSD post 1.2 also incorporates IP filter, and FreeBSD comes with its own packet filtering s/w (slightly easier to follow filter rules, but not as feature full, IMO). -Paul-
