Solaris firewall?

Hi, I just recently managed to install solaris. And just today I was finally able to get it to go online, by default it wouldn't let me go online. Anyway, I was wondering where one can buy a good UNIX firewall software along the lines of Sygate or MaAffee? Do they even sell firewalls for Unix? I read this one thread somewhere that Unix users prefer to biud their own firewalls-- that is daunting task for me seeing how I don't even know C or any of the korn or bourne shells. Or does Solaris 10 come with a built in firewall? Thanks

Solaris 10 comes with IPFilter, there are a number of tool that can help in configuring the rules. Do a google for IPFilter configuration tools and it should return several, I personally can't recommend one.
