Hi Lefti,

While I've not had extensive experience playing with Sparcs, I can't think of anything which would inherently prevent 
iptables/ebtables, and related goodies to function properly.

It seems that your difficulty is just in getting a kernel compiled.. yes? What specifically seems to be the issue there?

Mind you, the much easier path is to use the Honeynet Project's honeywall bootable CD. That would save all the pain of 
recompiling everything as needed. Though, that would require x86 hardware.
