Their documentation already doesn't match the legacy syntax, you have to look for older pf documentation to match that in use by FreeBSD. This has been the case since at least OpenBSD 4.7: http://www.openbsd.org/faq/upgrade47.html To get documentation for FreeBSD pf, you generally need to look for OpenBSD documentation for 4.2 or 4.3 as there were minute changes in the mid-4.x range. kmw
