iptables(8) depends heavily upon the netfilter code in the Linux
kernel, so no, it is not possible. *BSD != Linux.

no.  but freebsd 5.3 does ship with *three* firewall applications in the
base system (ipfw, ipf, pf), so you should be able get something going.

    No, you cannot. iptables is NOT a packet filtering software. That's 
a task for netfilter, which is part of linux kernel. iptables is only 
used to manage netfilter rules.

    So, even if you can compile iptables on freebsd (which you probably 
wont, because of missing headers), freebsd kernel will not provide 
netfilter structure that is used by iptables.

    As a completly linux kernel based software, iptables cannot run on 
non-linux plataforms.

    Oh man, sorry .... i realized that something was wrong right after 
sending the reply. The original message date is 21/06/2006 ... year 2006 
.... the message was the last one on my netfilter folder and i replied 
it :) After looking the headers, i saw that is was 21/06/2005 ...... 
well, shit happens :)

    Anyway, merry xmas to you all and happy packet filtering :)
