| For those running Solaris 2.5 or later, please read COMPILE.2.5 before |
| building IP Filter. |
| |
| Download, build and install the pfil package. |
| A pointer to this can be found at: |
| |
| http://coombs.anu.edu.au/~avalon/ipf-mentat.html |
| |
| Type "make solaris" to build all the required binaries. DO NOT USE THE |
| GNU make!!! |
| |
| Once IP Filter has been successfully compiled, you may then install it using |
| the usual package method (using pkgadd), however, the package needs to be |
| created, prior to pkgadd'ing. To create the package in /var/spool/pkg, change |
| directory to SunOS5 and enter the following command: |
| |
| make package |
| |
| This will build the package into SunOS5/<arch>/root, create a package |
| file called "ipf.pkg" in the SunOS5 directory and then start the |
| installation using pkgadd. |
| |
| As part of the postinstall script, it will install loadable kernel module |
| as part of Solaris 2 (using add_drv) making it available for immeadiate use. |
| |
| IP Filter will be installed into /opt/ipf (programs, manual pages and |
| examples) and create a directory /etc/opt/ipf with a null body file |
| called "ipf.conf" using touch. The rc scripts have been written to look |
| for the configuration file here, using the installed binaries in /sbin. |
