    I'm trying to learn how to configure my firewall on FreeBSD and there
    seems to be quite a few commands related to it. It looks like, though,
    that FreeBSD has two different implentations of firewalls. One uses
    ipfw to configure it and has natd for nat, the other uses ipf and has
    ipmon, ipnat, ipfs for controlling it. Is this true?

    Where are some good references for learning the packet filter on
    FreeBSD?
