I incooperated his comments and you'll find the new version on the webpage: 1) The sample pf.conf is now installed to ${PREFIX}/etc/pf.conf.default in order not to overwrite a users modified version. 2) pf.sh is installed as pf.sh.sample as well and pfctl is now called with complete pathname (${PREFIX}/sbin/pfctl) instead of pfctl alone. He further asked: > 1) Something about needing Options PFIL_HOOKS and > Options RANDOM_IP_ID compilied into the kernel for pf > when using make for the port. > > 2) Needing to add: gateway_enable="YES" to > /etc/rc.conf if you wish to have this machine act has > a gateway. I personally think, that 1) is covered by pkg-descr and that this is enough. What's your opinon? 2) is a rather generic issue and nothing special about pf. I don't think we need to mention. If one would write a small step-by-step tutorial on getting pf operational after installing from the port, I'd love to include that to the PORTSDOC Thanks for your feedback Max
