- High availability and load balacing firewalls If you know OpenBSD and especially its pf(4) then you will know after test of IPf that pf(4) is a way better
- VPNs There is no tun(4) device in OpenSolaris so no OpenVPN, vpnc and so on. Yes, you can compile it, but no support for it from Sun or community - IDS/IPS I'm not sure here, but OpenBSD has much more packages available then OpenSolaris. BTW I found this http://www.sguil.net/ thanks to this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UM4ZrsOjmNQ And what's most important with OpenSolaris release you don't have any updates for free; even security. You must pay to Sun for that. You can use dev builds to receive security and normal updates for free, but after some time with build you will discover that there is too much bugs in them so I don't think that it's something usable for security related stuff. I'm still waiting for OS which will have similar quality like OpenBSD. But if you are looking for storage server or developer machine for Java or some other languages then you will be happy with OpenSolaris. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
