Howdy List...
I am trying to figure out if ipf is running for certain. FreeBSD 6.0-RELEASE
.



I added the following to /etc/rc.conf :

ipfilter_enable="YES"
ipmon_enable="YES"
ipmon_flags="-Dsvn"
ipnat_enable="YES"
ipfs_enable="YES"

I added a rule file /etc/ipf.conf , and flushed/reloaded ipf with the
command

# ipf -Fa -f /etc/ipf.conf

I have rebooted since the additions to /etc/rc.conf

ps aux | grep ipf

Shows nothing. I do see ipmon in there however.

ipfstat command, shows me stats, so I suppose it is running, but I assumed
(incorrectly?) that I would "see" ipf with ps aux .

Thanks y'all,
Gable
