I have followed the instructions in the FreeBSD Handbook for implementing = pf, but when I run pfctl -e, I get: pfctl: /dev/pf: No such file or directory". I do an ls of /dev and sure enough, there's no pf device. I have googled = for a couple of days (!) and my fingers are about to fall off and am = losing my sanity. What do I have to do to get pf going? Here is what I HAVE done: 1. I built a custom kernel following the instructions in the FreeBSD = Handbook. Specifically for pf I added: device pf device pflog device pfsync 2. I added the following to /etc/rc.conf: pf_enable=3D"YES" pf_rules=3D"/etc/pf.conf" pf_flags=3D"" pflog_logfile=3D"/var/log/pflog" 3. I rebooted and tried pfctl -e again. No dice. Grrrrr. I am using 6.2-RELEASE. What's a guy gotta do to get a firewall around = here? ;) Gavin Spomer Systems Programmer Brooks Library Central Washington Univerisity
