Just for clarification I guess, but OpenBSD uses Darren Reed's Ipfilter package which maintains tcp state, and therefore allows you to deny certain things pending on the state of the tcp connection. Whereas stock linux with ipchains is a packetfilter, and it doesn't quite allow you to deny exactly everything.
For the new linux kernel (2.4 including 2.4pre.. = 2.3.99pl..) there is a change from IPchains to Netfilter / IPtables (http://netfilter.kernelnotes.org/), which is a stateful packet filter, too. Bye Volker
