RE: Differences between firewall-packages like FW-1 and packetfilter

The big difference for me is the logging ability. FW-1 only logs the
first packet, does not report header info beyond IP & port numbers, and
in some cases lies about what it lets through and what it does not.

Chris, what do you mean FW-1 lies about what it lets through in some cases,
do you have examples of this?

HTH,
Chris
