you can not filter against lo0 on solaris --
the implementation just doesn't support packet
interception on the trip to/from lo0.

so, any rules such as
> pass in quick on lo0 all

have no effect under solaris.

Hello Damir:

Thanks for the advise. I am wasn't clear that I have only one nic and
don'' do NAT either.

Also, I read some where waying that lo0 is not working with Solaris on IPF.

I tried to find where I read that and can't get it back.

Anyway, I am opening to all sugestions.

Thanks,

Hello Matthias:

Thank you for your answer, yes, I did read and reread on the howto,
but still would like to hear from the experiences.

Also Yes, you are answer my question.

I did want to block all in and out then open ports that I allow come
in and go out.

but be carefull you specify interface on which you operate. One surely
don't  want to block traffic on localhost device.

I do it this way:
block in all
block out all

pass in quick on lo0 all
pass out quick on lo0 all

# all other rules follows

Damir Horvat
