Oh man, ipfwadm, I completely forgot about that. I also now remember an ipmasq command, which google reminds me was kind of a wrapper around ipfwadm or ipchains, and I remember rebuilding my kernel over and over again (overnight!) to get the right combination of networking options. I also remember being very frustrated when I had to drop ipfwadm and learn ipchains for kernel 2.2, and drop ipchains and learn iptables for kernel 2.4!
- jlgaddis 11y agoYep, so much relief when 2.6 came out and retained iptables!
- sneak 11y agoI also recall doing the same sort of dance with linux kernel RAID, (0.90 vs md-style) and also encrypted block devices (cryptoloop to device mapper). It's nice to remember and realize how stable and performant things are these days.
