Has anyone had any success or tried to install IPFilter? If you have, could you explain the process you went through? Thanks...

#2

Can you tell us what form the software is in? .deb, tarball, etc? What problems have you had?

Is this for use on the Sparc platform?

Thanks,

Chris.

http://www.phildev.net/ipf/IPFlinux.html should get you started. Read the howtos. They're RedHat/Fedora centered but the principle is the same. Consider ignoring aspects such as having to install Squid or BIND as they're not necessary. Consider writing a howto and/or .deb specific for Ubuntu.

What it comes down is that you'll need to install the appropriate kernel source and compile IPF using that.

The packages *filtergen* and *hlfl* are able to help you creating your IPF ruleset. Both are in the universe repository.

Let us know if you have any specific questions.
