>Description:
We noticed a conflict/contradiction at boot sequence btw ipfilter & ipmon script in /etc/rc.d :
ipfilter :
LINE08 : # REQUIRE root beforenetlkm mountcritlocal ipmon
ipmon : 
LINE35 - if ! sysctl net.inet.ipf.fr_pass >/dev/null 2>&1; then

This way, ipmon don't never start ; i don't found any comment about net.inet.ipf.fr_class sysctl statement, but when ipfilter is loaded, values are 514 or 513. I don't know why ipmon script don't simply check net.inet.ipf.fr_running.
Perhaps a misunderstanding on my side ? The fact is that ipmon don't start this way.
Thanks and best regards to the community.
>How-To-Repeat:
rc.conf : enabling ipfilter && ipmon with their default flags values.
>Fix:
if ipmon could start after ipfilter, just swap the REQUIRE fields btw ipmon & ipfilter to have ipmon starting AFTER ipfilter :
/etc/rc.d/ipmon :
# REQUIRE mountcritlocal hostname sysctl cleanvar ipfilter
/etc/rc.d/ipfilter :
# REQUIRE: root beforenetlkm mountcritlocal
