I like it better the way it is; I think enabling bpfilter by default is
too friendly to crackers.  I also like Matt's idea of not allowing
open()s on the bpf device when the securelevel is greater than 0.

Sniffing the network is definitely not something everyone needs to do,
and setting it up is not so difficult anyway.
