If you're talking about the pf rules file, I think it should work once=20
you've changed any OS-specific device/interface names.  You might=20
compare the file installed by default in FreeBSD to the one you're=20
currently using before you make the change.  Also, I wouldn't make the=20
change from a remote location.    ;-)
