I don't follow OpenBSD, but my understanding is there has been significant change between FreeBSD's version of PF and the current version in OpenBSD. According to the freebsd-pf@ list(which is maybe a better place for your question) PF version 4.5 is scheduled to appear in FreeBSD 9 so we'll still be well behind. I would guess the previous version of the book has syntax and examples closer to what you'll be using if FreeBSD is your host although 2nd editions often have a lot of useful additions and corrections. -- Adam Vande More _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
