Hello,

I was asked if it is possible for ipfilter in general
and on (Open)Solaris/illumos in particular to go beyond
filters based on packets' networking attributes, and
involve filtering based on (local) OS attributes - UID,
GID, PID/PNAME and so on, like Linux and Windows filters
do.

Sample rule and usecase might be: nobody can access HTTP
into the internet from this box except root and repo-sync
user.

Is it possible now or implementable "with little blood"? :)

Thanks,
//Jim
