Hello,
    I believe i am having a configuration error. I've got a new 5.3 box to
which i'm atempting to get ipfilter going. I read the updated handbook and
have added:

ipfilter_enable="YES"
ipfilter_rules="/etc/ipf.rules"
ipmon_enable="YES"
ipmon_flags="-Dsvn"

to my rc.conf file. When i try to manually load up my rules file with:
ipf -FA -f /etc/ipf.rules
 i am getting an error "can not open no such device"
I have not compiled anything for ipfilter in to the kernel as i had done
previously i understood from the handbook that ipf was capable of being
dynamically loaded and the rc.conf line would suffice. I've also added:
Local0.* /var/log/ipfilter.log
to my syslog.conf file getting ipf traffic in a separate logfile. When i go
to rotate this file with newsyslog is there any special flags i should pass?
Thanks.
Dave.
