System: FreeBSD silentsid 6.2-PRERELEASE FreeBSD 6.2-PRERELEASE #4: Thu Dec 28 03:17:47 GMT 2006 root@silentsid:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/SILENTSID i386
The machine is running as a router for my home network, it also provides services
such as file sharing. It runs FreeBSD 6.2-PRERELEASE on standard i386 hardware.
>Description:
After upgrading from 6.1-RELEASE from sources via cvsup to 6.2-PRERELEASE
I discovered on the next reboot that PF had not been executed. I then checked the rc.conf man page
to verify that my settings in /etc/rc.conf were still valid and they are. The settings I am using
are pf_enable="YES" and all the other pf options are set to the defaults set out in
/etc/defaults/rc.conf as described in the rc.conf man page. Following that I checked that I could run
the /etc/rc.d/pf script by running it manually, a further check using "/sbin/pfctl -s" all presented me with all the rules I would have expected before the sy
stem update.
>How-To-Repeat:
I have not tried to re-produce the environment for this error as it is a running live system
and I do not want to cause more issues, by this I mean by downgrading/upgrading. To rediscover the
error all that needs to be done is to reboot the system and to check for loaded pf rules.

>Fix:
Workarounds are 1. Run PF manually, 2. Add in a line to run it via rc.local (currently
in use).
