Except for the part where THERE IS NOTHING ABOUT ANY PROXY USER THERE.
I assume you're talking about this entry:
20040308:
The packet filter (pf) is now installed with the base system. Make
sure to run mergemaster -p before installworld to create required
user accounts. If you do not want to build pf with your system you
can use the NO_PF knob in make.conf.
Also note that pf requires "options PFIL_HOOKS" in the kernel. The
pf system consists of the following three devices:
device pf # required
device pflog # optional
device pfsync # optional
I would be REALLY NICE if the message mentioned SOMETHING that occurred
somewhere in this entry. I stumbled across this too, because I read
the UPDATING entries looking for something about "proxy" and didn't
catch this item, so I didn't watch the changes to passwd closely enough
in mergemaster -p.
Let's try to make references to UPDATING a bit more clear, and be a little
less terse with each other when problems do arise, mmm'kay?
And Marcin: if you don't have time to read UPDATING, you don't have time
to run -CURRENT. It's a necessary part. Really.
