Which IIRC is the same as shipped with OpenBSD 3.6. 3.7 in RELENG_6, 3.5 in RELENG_5, 4.1 in what is to become RELENG_7. > > What are the options to update PF?

There are also patches for RELENG_6 to update to 4.1 pf, but given your inexperience with compilation that might not be the best choice for you. In any case, they are at: http://people.freebsd.org/~mlaier/PF41/ with instructions. If this box can take a downtime once in a while (i.e. not 100% mission critical) and you are interested in helping, then consider running the latest CURRENT. It is in good shape and has the newest pf (4.1). Just grab a snapshot or compile from source. -- /"\ Best regards, | mlaier@freebsd.org \ / Max Laier | ICQ #67774661 X http://pf4freebsd.love2party.net/ | mlaier@EFnet / \ ASCII Ribbon Campaign | Against HTML Mail and News [-- Attachment #2 --] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.4 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQBG2GNYXyyEoT62BG0RAlUiAJ9ZNr4mZiuzWCGXUds/fTkWGyTfVwCfc+VK C93jG5J63Ew71tK49CqWBm4= =xeMD -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
