SUMMARY: IP Filter problem

Hi.

There seems to be a problem with IP Filter 3.4.19 on Solaris 8 x86. It was
the first time I installed this package and didn't assume that it was a bug.

However, William Yodlowsky pointed to me that someone on the Ip Filter
mailing list had the exact same problem on x86. Since 3.4.18 is no longer
available on the official FTP server, I located a copy of 3.4.18 at
ftp://ftp.redcom.ru/pub/firewalls/ip-fil3.4.18.tar.gz, installed it and it
seems to work better.

Thanks to William for clearing this matter quickly.

Objet : IP Filter problem


Hi,

I've compiled IP filter 3.4.19 on my Solaris 8 x86 box. It has only one
active network interface for now. I've set up the simplest rules of all to
begin with:
pass in log on iprb0 all
pass out log on iprb0 all

However, as soon as I load the kernel module, there is no way to either get
in or out of my box. The log indicates that it sees and passes inbound and
outbound packets, but they seem to be discarded or ignored at another level.

I tried setting ip_forwarding to 1, to no avail.

My question is: what am I missing?

Thanks in advance and I'll summarize when I fix the problem.
