>Description:
	ipfw now has the ipsec keyword which should work when
	options IPSEC_FILTERGIF is enabled in kernel. LINT still
	seems to imply that this feature cannot be used like in
	openbsd, yet this is no longer true.
>How-To-Repeat:
	Read /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/LINT:

options IPSEC_FILTERGIF
# Note that enabling this can be problematic as there are no mechanisms
# in place for distinguishing packets coming out of a tunnel (e.g. no
# encX devices as found on openbsd).

and read 'man ipsec':
...
     ipsec   Matches packets that have IPSEC history associated with them
             (i.e. the packet comes encapsulated in IPSEC, the kernel has
             IPSEC support and IPSEC_FILTERGIF option, and can correctly
             decapsulate it).
...


>Fix:

remove comment from LINT, or mention ipfw ipsec keyword there.
