[OpenIndiana-discuss] ipfilter frustrations again

[Lou Picciano]

Daniel, 


Yes, have found ipfilter to be quite fiddly... Have you tried to manually reload the filter rules with something like: 
ipf -f /path/to/ipf.conf ? (or, similarly: ipnat -f (etc) ???

How do you 'correctly' modify the ipfilter settings with this new 
'ignore /etc/ipf/ipf.conf' set up in OI? I tried 
following the directions on 

http://hub.opensolaris.org/bin/view/Community+Group+on/2009022302 

but nothing changes. This is on a fresh 151a5 install. How is a person supposed to do this without using a customized ipf.conf file? Is there a gui? 

I can't get the damn thing to look at etc/ipf/ipf.conf and I modified the new default custom location /somewhere/incomprehensible/ipf.conf and that does nothing either.
