Though it can't decide whether to really live in contrib or as part of FreeBSD. Also it hasn't been updated in a long time and the official version has progressed quite a bit. IMHO the version we have should either go away and be replaced with a fresh up to date import through the vendor channel, or move to netpfil. Would be a great task for a junior kernel hacker. -- Andre
