Hi all

I am running freebsd 5.3 and trying to run pf on it , I added these 
lines to /etc/rc.conf
pf_enable="YES"
pf_rules="/etc/pf.conf"
pf_program="/sbin/pfctl"

Before writing any rule I tried to test if i can enable pf, Running the  
/etc/rc.d/pf  and  pfctl -e   returns

No ALTQ support in kernel
ALTQ related functions disabled
pfctl: DIOCSTART: Operation not permitted

Well if we dont care about ALTQ at this stage why DIOCSTART fails
Iam new to BSD and PF , Your help or any pointer is greatly appriciated

Regards
-Bobby
