There are also patches for RELENG_6 to update to 4.1 pf, but given your=20 inexperience with compilation that might not be the best choice for you. =20 In any case, they are at: http://people.freebsd.org/~mlaier/PF41/ with=20 instructions. If this box can take a downtime once in a while (i.e. not 100% mission=20 critical) and you are interested in helping, then consider running the=20 latest CURRENT. It is in good shape and has the newest pf (4.1). Just=20 grab a snapshot or compile from source. =2D-=20 /"\ Best regards, | mlaier@freebsd.org \ / Max Laier | ICQ #67774661 X http://pf4freebsd.love2party.net/ | mlaier@EFnet / \ ASCII Ribbon Campaign | Against HTML Mail and News --nextPart3065478.yhFaRzrIBL Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.4 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQBG2GNYXyyEoT62BG0RAlUiAJ9ZNr4mZiuzWCGXUds/fTkWGyTfVwCfc+VK C93jG5J63Ew71tK49CqWBm4= =xeMD -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --nextPart3065478.yhFaRzrIBL--
