Hi

I plainnig a firewall and i´m studing the possibilitys of
Iptables or IPFilter (BSD) or Packet Filter.

I know that Iptables I can run in Linux box, IPFilter
in BSD box and PackerFilter in OpenBSD.

The Iptables runs in freebsd runs in FreeBSD and Linux
cause its runs linux binary, is this correct?

PacketFilter runs in freebsd as well? Or only on OpenBSD

Wich technology that u sugest and pleae why...

oh, i forgot the platafomr that i will use is a IBM PPC, but
I still want know the consequeces of running in a PC Intel.

Geers
