If you download Solaris Express, you can find something that doesn't
suffer from this problem.
But the API used isn't in the final shape it needs to take and is just
another private interface
at present. Even if it were, it would be 6 months before I could use it
in a Solaris 10 update.
You've no idea how slowly the wheels turn to make an actual Solaris
product in order to
dot all the i's and cross all the t's.
That's OK. I'm all for structured engineering and processes and definitely
against ad hoc implementations. It's more important to me that everything is
forward and backward compatible than implemented haphazardly and ad hoc.
So as long as the public API is being worked on, everything's hunky-dory. If
there's a need for a quick fix, one can always turn to the newest version of
the IPFilter.
