So this problem only appears to affect people using /usr/src more "heavily" than the standard user that will install FreeBSD and get a /usr/include/netinet populated with all the correct files ? I can see that moving IPFilter include files to /usr/include/ipfilter at some point in the future will be an even better solution - but not just yet. Darren
