Thanks for your reply. If I wanted to use ipfw I'd use the handbook, but
I want to learn and use IPF.

And for IPF I can not find the options needed for my kernel in the
handbook nor somewhere else (yet).
The least I need to know however ARE the options I need to compile into
my kernel, before even consider working with IPF.

Hopefully *someone* can tell me the options for freebsd-4.8.R
-(please..)-
