FreeBSD does not want to break compatibility of old syntax and that is why i did not port the latest version of pf(4). What is there now makes it 'trivial' to go to the latest pf(4) version in Open but there needs to be a layer of translation for the old syntax to new syntax. That is te only reason its not been done. > Thanks, > > -Walt > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-pf@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-pf > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-pf-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" > -- Ermal
