[rescue] IPFILTER woes

[Brian Hechinger]

before i go at the IPFILTER mailing list, i want to stop here and ask some
questions.

if i can't resolve my IPFILTER issue, then i'm going to need a good low cost
firewall solution.  needs to run on Solaris 8.

ok, so here's what happens.  the machine locks dead.  no panic, just stopped.
i can break to the rom and reboot the machine.  it happens at seemingly random
intervals.  i saw the posts about ipmon hanging solaris, but i have tried it
with ipmon running and without ipmon running.  hangs both ways.

i originally though it was a hardware issue, so i swapped the then current
firewall (sparc10) with the new firewall (ultra1) and it still happens.  i
remember that is NEVER happened with my sparc5 when it was the firewall.

i'm going to be running production sites on this setup, so i cannot afford to
have this machine crashing all the time.  does anyone have any clues at all?

thanks!
