That may work short term, but the ENOMAINTAINER problem will quickly creep
up again as kernel APIs change.  If the author has lost interest in
maintaining the FreeBSD port of ipfilter then unless someone steps forward
to carry on the work, I don't see much of a future for ipfilter in
FreeBSD

Do we honestly need three packet filters?

Gary
