Phil,
Please find it at:

Yes, I do periodically update it as I learn new things in the
course of working with Solaris 10. Please use this link for the FAQ.

Hi,
Attached is a revised version of my how-to for changing from
Sun's version of pfil/ipfilter shipped with Solaris 10, to Darren's
public-domain release. This version was revised due to comments
received from others on the list about x86 (I only use Sparc),
and changes due to the introduction of Sun Update Connection/Manager
patching system for Solaris 10. See:
http://www.sun.com/service/sunupdate/index.html
SunUpdate is a cool new tool/method for patching. However, in the
sequence of (a) cold-install S10, (b) install SunUpdate and patch
for the first time, (c) replace Sun ipfilter with latest version, I
discovered that /usr/sbin/pfild appeared, where I don't remember
it in the original Solaris 10 3/05 release. Darren's pfil won't run
without pfild in place, and removing packages SUNWipfu and SUNWipfr
removes pfild. So, you have to hang on to it.
Darren, what is pfild and how come the public-domain version doesn't
come with it?
Jeff, would you mind hosting this page somewhere so that:
1. I can link to it instead of include the whole thing in the FAQ
2. If you update it, I don't have to update mine
Thanks.
