Hey peeps,
Please tell me someone in this forum has managed to successfully install ipfw on the iPhone?

I'm working on an iPhone project which requires the installation of a firewall with the ability to log to a text file.

Can anyone assist me with this........PLEASE???

I've managed to get ipfw installed on the iPhone but if I issue a command like, ipfw list for instance, I get the following message:

ipfw: getsockopt(IP_FW_GET): Protocol not available

I have done some research on this message and the responses I've come across seem to point to recompiling the kernel. I have no idea how to do this on the iPhone.

Any ideas anyone???


Thanks for your help in advance,
Bevan

I think you are definitely out in the weeds on this one. I recommend talking with the jailbreak community instead of the FreeBSD community. I wouldn't hold your breath though.

Thanks for the response Gordon@. I knew it would've been a shot in the dark but thought I'd give it a go anyway.
