    Hi Tru64 folk,

    above is the subject I've found in the archives, and this is exactly the
    same as the question I wanted to ask. This summary, a copy of which is
    quoted beneath, was posted 24 Jan 2001 by Jose Antonio Puga Facal. As
    follows from its text, with 4.0D, I have no opportunity to create my own
    firewall on the box. The only hope is that for these four years there has
    appeared something new, appropriate for the case. I'm familiar with
    ipchains (on LINUX) and very interested in something like that. By the way,
    the link in the text concerning Tru64 does not exist any more...

    Any suggestions are welcome.

    Thank you,
    Irene

    Hi managers:

        First of all, thank you to: (in order of appearance ;-)

               Brian Schau
               Nikola Milutinovic
               Thomas Leitner

        The question:

            "I want to protect a single Tru64 Unix box with a firewall like
            IPchains on Linux, which allows me to filter IP traffic.
            Do you know any public firewall which runs on Tru64 Unix
            to do this?"

        The answer:

            The new version 4 (currently in beta)
            of IP Filter is supported on Tru64 5.x AFAIK. See:

                http://coombs.anu.edu.au/~avalon/ip-filter.html

            Unfortunately, it isn't supported on Tru64 4.0f
