>Description:
The PF page[1] in the FreeBSD Handbook should tell the user about the new location of the example pf.conf in FreeBSD 7.0, being now /usr/share/examples/pf/pf.conf and not /etc/pf.conf anymore.

Moreover, by default, there is no /etc/pf.conf, so if the user enables PF in /etc/defaults/rc.conf, the next reboot PF will complain about /etc/pf.conf not existing and will not load.

I think the Handbook should clarify this for 7.0.
