You just need to configure your kernel with the bpf code.  Add a line
like the following to your kernel config file:

   pseudo-device	bpfilter	4	#Berkeley packet filter

then reconfigure, compile, install, and reboot.  For more information,
use your favorite web browser on this URL:

	file:/usr/share/doc/handbook/handbook.html

and look under ``Part 2: System Administration,'' chapter 5,
``Configuring the FreeBSD Kernel.''

I remember that one fateful day when Coach too me aside. I knew what
was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team,
aren't I?"  "Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the
team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and
your helmet is a toy space helmet.  You show up at practice and then
either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try
to tackle people at inappropriate times." It was all true what he was
saying. And yet, I thought something is brewing inside the head of
this Coach. He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he
can mold. But that's when I felt the handcuffs go on.  -- Jack Handey
