However, this does not appear to have been the case for several years; pflog(4) was apparently moved to a separate pflog.ko in 2006 (see svn r155337). The handbook needs to be updated to reflect this. >How-To-Repeat: # kldload pf.ko # ifconfig pflog0 ifconfig: interface pflog0 does not exist # ifconfig pflog0 create ifconfig: SIOCIFCREATE2: Invalid argument >Fix: # kldload pflog.ko # ifconfig pflog0 pflog0: flags=0<> metric 0 mtu 33204 >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
