:-

# uname -a; modinfo | grep ipf
SunOS rasputin 5.10 s10_69 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Blade-1000
206 7bf62000  23600 228   1  ipf (IP Filter: v4.0beta18)
# uname -a; modinfo | grep ipf
SunOS aids 5.10 s10_72 sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-Enterprise

I haven't done anything on either machine to ensure ipf is started or
not started. ipf seems to be there on b72 though.
