ipfirewall_v2.0c.shar.gz This is a facility that allows the user to setup an ipfirewall to protect themselves from the roving bands of villains that inhabit the darker corners of the forest! The facility works by allowing the system administrator to specify which IP packets are to be accepted or rejected by the facility. The filtering or screening of packets is done by a routine in the kernel that is called by the very bottom layer of the IP inbound packet processing routines. By intercepting packets at this level, the firewall facility is inexpensive in terms of system resources and quite secure in the sense that all IP packets are screened including those intended to be forwarded to other machines. By Danny Boulet (danny@nahanni.BouletFermat.ab.ca) The changes in this version (that are relevant to BSD/OS) are: - the timestamp IP option is now treated the same as the record-route option instead of being treated as a miscellaneous IP option. This corresponds to how the v2.0 documentation says this option is treated (sigh). - the shar file now creates a directory called "Ipfirewall_v2.0a" and all of the files end up in that directory instead of in the current directory. - the shar file include a set of diffs for BSD/OS v1.1. - Includes fix from version a that eliminates case were certain packets could slip through.
