New Revision: 52854
URL: https://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/doc/52854

Log:
  Mention that FreeBSD does not ship with /etc/pf.conf by default.
  
  Previous versions of FreeBSD provided a standard /etc/pf.conf, but
  that was removed without changing the documentation.  Update the
  handbook to mention it and point people to the directory
  /usr/share/examples/pf/ where example firewall rules are available.
