[pf4freebsd] pfsync

Hi,

I installed pf 2.03 on my freebsd system (fully updated 5.1 with GENERIC kernel) and I'm confused about how to start the pfsync process.  On OpenBSD I started it via the command:

ifconfig pfsync0 up syncif xl0

On FreeBSD if I try it I get:

# ifconfig pfsync0 up syncif xl0
ifconfig: syncif: bad value

I can see the pfsync interface

lo0: flags=8049<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 16384
        inet6 ::1 prefixlen 128 
        inet6 fe80::1%lo0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x4 
        inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000 
pflog0: flags=141<UP,RUNNING,PROMISC> mtu 33208
pfsync0: flags=41<UP,RUNNING> mtu 1896


Is this supposed to be working?


Thanks in advance,

-luke
