	-current circa 9 Jan 2000

>Description:

	MAKEDEV doesnt create the IPFilter nodes in /dev, namely:

		/dev/ipl
		/dev/ipnat
		/dev/ipstate
		/dev/ipauth

	This makes it rather problematic using ipf(8) and friends.

>How-To-Repeat:

	ipf -V reports:

	open device: Permission denied
	ioctl(SIOCGETFS: Bad file descriptor
	ipf: IP Filter: v3.3.3 (192)

	as a result of not being able to open /dev/ipl

>Fix:
	The following patch adds support to /usr/src/etc/MAKEDEV so that:

	MAKEDEV ipl

	creates the proper nodes.
