deja vu... i have read the same statements before on this issue in
a freebsd mailing list... crist, by chance could that be from you?
by the way your manpage seems to be old, over here same man command
shows...
-y Manually resync the in-kernel interface list main-
tained by IP Filter with the current interface sta-
tus list.

well, i have to do syncing once after reboot. after then, i can play
w/ ppp, ifconfig, ipf as much i want w/o resyncing.
just curious, are your ipf rules "default block" type? or, do you
first block all the traffic (going in or out), then selectively let
the traffic pass?
as i stated earlier, when the ipf rules weren't "default block", ppp
was making connection, but not afterwords ... not w/o a "ipf -y".
so, if your rules are not "default block", you may not have to
do the syncing.

so, do you like word games or scrabble?
