Hi Darren, happy to read you again :) I find it absurd that you can't use your spare time for your own stuff. Does it mean that if you write 2 lines of code at 2:00am in your house, that is still Oracle's IP??? It's madness! -= Mail sent through WebTop2 =- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Da: Darren Reed A: Gabriele Bulfon Cc: Simon Chang [email protected] Data: 4 novembre 2010 6.11.11 CET Oggetto: Re: IPFilter no more? Oracle has no problems with me doing it but would own all of the intellectual property (i.e copyright) for all of the work that I would do. *I* have a problem with that given that I would be doing it on my time and it would be me handing out freebies to a very wealthy man/company.

I am about to rip out the public version of ip filter replace with the official Sun/Oracle version. Look like that is the supported version going forward for us Sun admin.. Just upgraded to Solaris 10 update 9, and I don't bother to it against 5.1.0 :( Hi, Long time ipfilter user, but first time posting on the mailing list. I have various versions of FreeBSD running ipf 4.1.28, and I have been frustrated by the fact that the documentation seems muddled and confusing regarding the exact compilation procedure for 5.1.0. Also, yes, based on the list volume that I checked, this list seems to be *VERY* low-volume and has been that way for a while now. Does anyone know what the status is for ipfilter, what the general direction is, and whether Darren intends to continue development? Cheers, Simon Chang
