Do you think it might be worth the effort to upgrade my home
Ultra20 from 10 to 11?  I got that at home to be an educational
tool and fileserver.

I have just found and bookmarked your blog.  Why would it be lame
to post to this list?   I monitor this list more often and would
like to see important Solaris/ipfilter things here.

Ipfilter is the main reason I asked above about upgrading my
Ultra20.  I am trying to make a NAT router to replace what I
was doing with a PC running SuSE Linux 9.0 and SuSEfirewall2.
I am struggling with getting ipfilter to work and to make a
NAT router.  I got as far as a basic setup with pass all for
the in and out.  I got simple NAT but never got beyond that.
I have been following this list for some time and have seen
all the discussion about Solaris vs latest.  I have wondered
if my troubles were from bugs or lack of understanding.

Does the next Solaris have a more recent ipfilter?
