This seems to be completely undocumented and even from studying the sourcecode one needs some experience in the workings of FreeBSDD to guess what the issue is. I stumbled on http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/htdig/freebsd-pf/2005-May/001014.html and so found out what is missing. On a related note: /var/authpf does not exist by defaults and tne manpage gives no hints on this directory or which premissions are the "correct" ones. >How-To-Repeat: mkdir /etc/authpf/ touch /etc/authpf/authpf.conf mkdir /var/authpf/ <create a user with authpf as shell> <ssh into the machine as this user> You may also use sysinstall(8) to re-enter the installation and configuration utility. Edit /etc/motd to change this login announcement. pfctl: /dev/fd/4: No such file or directory Unable to modify filters Connection to 213.xxx.xxx.xxx closed. >Fix: mount fdescfs >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
