The fwknop client should run properly if perl is installed, but the
fwknopd server is a different story.  It looks to me as though
opensolaris uses ipfilter as its firewall, and this is not supported yet
by fwknopd.

However, there may be a way to get this working using the external
commands feature in fwknopd.  Just set ENABLE_EXTERNAL_CMDS to Y in
/etc/fwknop/fwknop.conf, and define the EXTERNAL_CMD_OPEN and
EXTERNAL_CMD_CLOSE variables to use the ipfilter command along with the
$SRC variable.  You can always defined the port and protocol with
variables, but if you are always using fwknop for SSH access, then just
do:

EXTERNAL_CMD_OPEN       /usr/sbin/ipfilter add 1234 allow tcp from $SRC to any 
22
EXTERNAL_CMD_CLOSE      /usr/sbin/ipfilter delete 1234

This is mostly a guess based on the idea that ipfilter supports a
similar rules syntax to ipfw.  The number "1234" above is the rule
number.

It would be interesting to hear if this works.

Thanks,
