While there are some open issues, particulary wrt support of old
NetBSD-specific interfaces, it is better to get the code some public
testing before NetBSD-4 is branched.
derive IP address(es) from the interface (e.g "... from any to fxp0").
This however, creates window for possible attacks from the network.
Implement the solution proposed by YAMAMOTO Takashi:
Add /etc/defaults/pf.boot.conf and load it with the /etc/rc.d/pf_boot
script before starting the network. People who don't like the default
rules can override it with their own /etc/pf.boot.conf.
The default rules have been obtained from OpenBSD.
No objections on: tech-security
appeared and whether it's really part of pf or not is still unclear. Looking
at the other *BSDs it seems that they have left out spamd when importing pf,
and now we do that too. Also, the name conflicted with another more popular
used tool, after the rename to pfspamd it was left with completely unusable
documentation which apparently no-one wanted to fix.
A port of the latest spamd will be imported into pkgsrc soon.
Suggested by several people, no objections on last proposal on tech-userlevel.
`spamd-setup', and `spamdb' as `pfspamd', `pfspamd-setup', and `pfspamdb'.
To quote Steven M. Bellovin:
This [having a program in basesrc with the same name as a widely used and
completely different program in pkgsrc] is a seriously bad idea; it
violates the rule of least surprise. That's bad enough in normal
situations; here, we're talking about security. You do *not* want to
confuse people about security features; they're hard enough to get right
as is.
headers and LKM.
Add MKPF; if set to no, don't build and install the pf(4) programs,
headers, LKM and spamd.
Both options default to yes, so nothing changed in the default build.
