For those running Solaris 2.5, please read COMPILE.2.5 before building IP Filter. Type "make solaris" to build all the required binaries. Once IP Filter has been successfully compiled, you may then install it using the usual package method (using pkgadd), however, the package needs to be created, prior to pkgadd'ing. To create the package in /var/spool/pkg, change directory to SunOS5 and enter the following command: make package This will build the package into SunOS5//root, copy that to /var/spool/pkg as a package and then start the installation using pkgadd. As part of the postinstall script, it will install loadable kernel module as part of Solaris 2 (using add_drv) making it available for immeadiate use. IP Filter will be installed into /opt/CYBSipf (programs, manual pages and examples) and create a directory /etc/opt/CYBSipf with a null body file called "ipf.conf" using touch. The rc scripts have been written to look for the configuration file here, using the installed binaries in /sbin. Darren Reed darrenr@cyber.com.au
