It's part of the standard Solaris release; the version number reported is not really proper so it's changed in the next express release to: ipf: IP Filter: v4.0.2 (592) We've made a number of changes to ipfilter such that it is now well-behaved; this gives some divergence and just removing and pkgadding the "standard version" will give you some grief; and also no integration with SMF. As it is part of the OS it will be supported. Casper
