Description

We currently have support for securing SMF-managed services with ipfilter. This is especially useful for securing RPC services using dynamic ports.

As it happens this support is somewhat limited:
  • supports only dropping of packets, there is no setting to return RST (TCP) or ICMP error messages (all other protocols)
  • supports only filtering on source addresses, source address pools, and incoming interfaces
  • supports only IPv4

For a few months now I have been running with a bunch of changes that allow IPv6 support, specifying a block policy, and filtering on destination addresses. It's time to have these upstreamed.

While at it I fixed a few minor issues in the nfs/client ipfilter support (handled by /lib/svc/method/nfs-server):
- block tcp6 ports for IPv4, too
- only open client ports when nfs/client is enabled

I also fixed the yp client to use "getent ipnodes $hostname" instead of parsing /etc/hosts directly, this is a requirement to allow IPv6 support.
