New PF on FreeBSD snapshot available
Dan writes "Pyun YongHyeon and Max Laier announce a new release of PF for FreeBSD, which is available for download. Since the first release of PF at the end of March 2003, PF has undergone several major updates such as -current and ALTQ support. They have also removed bugs in IPv6, module handling and table support code and believe the current version 0.61 is very close to production use."
No shit. Screw me for not knowing what PF is, but it's just common sense to provide some length of explaination of your subject. I'm scared to click on any of the links for fear that the posted text is just a copy/paste from another source.
Futile, really, to see this complaint come up so many times and realise that the editors really don't give a shit, or at least don't care to offer a rebutle. I realize it's not the most professional approach to post stories relating to how badly they post stories. But I'm guessing their image isn't helped by all of these legitimized complaints. How much longer can they take themselves seriously?
The same can be stated in financial terms. Yes, as "editors" you're all mostly very lame (except that last book review was excellent!), but I do still come here on a semi-daily basis to dig through the threads. However, Moz/Phirebird/foo are set to block images from this server. Our university proxy has even been set to do the same. I'm even starting to get a bad taste in my mouth for people who advertise here.
The biggest trolls here are the editors.
I'm against picketing, but I don't know how to show it.
The manpage you quote is documenting a programmer's interface with IOCTLs and c structs. It neither proveides a usefull overview of pf nor does it tell you how to build rules with it.
If you read that and found it better than FreeBSD's concise and well written ipfw(8) manpage you must have smoked some very heavy stuff.
