Hello,

I hope the following is self-explanatory:


pfctl -vs rules:

[...]

pass quick proto tcp all flags A/A no state
   [ Evaluations: 1125881   Packets: 972814    Bytes: 421350757 States: 
82    ]
   [ Inserted: uid 0 pid 28187 State Creations: 82    ]

man pf.conf:
      pass  The packet is passed; state is created unless the no state 
option is specified.


Why does this rule create states ? Am I misreading/misunderstanding the 
part "state is created unless the no state option is specified" ?


Thanks.

Eugene.
