Firewalls for IRIX.

[Swift Griggs <ssgriggs () usa net>]

        Currently I'm playing with an SGI Challenge S pretty much just for
the novelty of the experience. I've got several SGI systems, and I've
noticed that there are really only two packet filtering/mangling options
available. The first is the ipfilterd that comes with IRIX. The second is
Darren Reed's excellent ipfilter package. Unfortunately it only works with
an unpatched IRIX 6.2 machine. I'd rather go with 6.5 since it has SACK,
randomized ISNs (tcpiss_md5 = 1), and other nice optimizations to security
and performance. So,

        * Are there any options for 6.5 ?
        * Can 6.2 be patched for random ISN's ?
        * Can 6.2 be patched for more control over performance (more
                systune params like 6.5 has) ?
        * Anyone heard rumblings of ipfilter for 6.5 (Darren?)
