https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=194935 Bug ID: 194935 Summary: pfctl(8) remove No ALTQ warning message Product: Base System Version: 10.0-RELEASE Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: Needs Triage Severity: Affects Many People Priority: Normal Component: bin Assignee: freebsd-bugs@FreeBSD.org Reporter: lyndon@orthanc.ca Generic kernels have no ALTQ support. pfctl barks: No ALTQ support in kernel ALTQ related functions disabled every time it is run when the kernel doesn't have ALTQ support. This is useless noise. The default kernels are not compiled with ALTQ, and the majority of pf users don't use queues anyway. pfctl already fails with an appropriate diagnostic when faced with an altq-related directive in the absence of ALTQ support, so why not move this diagnostic into that specific error scenario? The current behavior just annoys: (a) those who don't care, (b) those who don't know about ALTQ, and (c) those who have to explain to (b) that their firewall has not suddenly been breached by hordes of hackers. Can we please move this diagnostic out of the default code path and into a more appropriate location? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
