| This version of the tarball will completely replace the ipf which comes with FreeBSD.
You don't have to worry about duplicate binaries any more. To use ipf,
you first compile ipf, and then create a new kernel which includes the ipf
options. In addition, I always use ipnat in conjunction with ipf.
In order for ipnat to work, you must include the kernel options for ipnat. Be sure to do this before you recompile the
kernel to include ipf.
To compile ipf 3.4.1, follow the instructions included with the tarball.
Here's what they look like:
# cd /usr/ports/net/ip_fil3.3.4/
# more FreeBSD-3/INST.FreeBSD-3
To build a kernel with the IP filter, follow these steps:
1. do "make freebsd3"
[if you are installing under FreeBSD 4.*, you should type "make freebsd4"
instead]
2. do "make install-bsd"
(probably has to be done as root)
3. run "FreeBSD-3/kinstall" as root
[actually, I didn't do this, I did "FreeBSD-4.0/kinstall" instead]
4. build a new kernel
5. install the new kernel
6. If not using DEVFS, create devices for IP Filter as follows:
mknod /dev/ipl c 79 0
mknod /dev/ipnat c 79 1
mknod /dev/ipstate c 79 2
mknod /dev/ipauth c 79 3
7. reboot

I did not do step 6.
For step 4, see the Configuring
the FreeBSD Kernel section in the FreeBSD
handbook. Pay special attention to the section on Building and Installing
a Custom Kernel.
If you have included the IPFILTER_DEFAULT_BLOCK kernel option (which defaults ipf so it
blocks everything by default), you may encounter this during the kernel config.
Ignore the warning.
# config -r DUCKY
DUCKY:34: unknown option "IPFILTER_DEFAULT_BLOCK"
Don't forget to do a ``make depend''
Kernel build directory is ../../compile/DUCKY
