How does /dev/pf get created?

[Vadym Chepkov]

Gavin,

That doesn't make sense to me, everything seems to be normal.
Could you send output of uname -a ?

When I have device pf compiled in kernel it's getting created during kernel 
startup. Try to boot in single mode (boot -s in loader prompt) and see if 
you have /dev/pf then, maybe it is getting destroyed ?

Gavin,
I have never had to do anything like this and nevertheless I have /dev/pf
I have pf compiled into the kernel, so I wouldn't blame it on "must be
module" either.
Could you send me, please, the following files, I would really like to
understand the problem
- KERNEL config
- /etc/make.conf
- /etc/rc.conf
- /etc/fstab
- /boot/loader.conf


   Sure.

   KERNEL config is attached.

   /etc/make.conf:
      # added by use.perl 2007-12-11 11:29:06
      PERL_VER=5.8.8
      PERL_VERSION=5.8.8

   /etc/rc.conf:
      hostname="myhostname.cwu.edu"
      ifconfig_bce0="DHCP"
      linux_enable="YES"
      sshd_enable="YES"
      #usbd_enable="YES"
      ntpd_enable="YES"
      mysql_enable="YES"
      apache22_enable="YES"
      zope210_enable="YES"
      zope210_instances="/usr/local/zope"

      #Packet Filter (Firewall)
      pf_enable="YES"
      pf_rules="/etc/pf.conf"
      pflog_enable="YES"
      pflog_logfile="/var/log/pflog"
      pf_flags=""

   /etc/fstab:
      # Device                Mountpoint      FStype  Options         Dump 
Pass#
      /dev/da0s1b             none            swap    sw              0 
0
      /dev/da0s1a             /               ufs     rw              1 
1
      /dev/da0s1e             /tmp            ufs     rw              2 
2
      /dev/da0s1f             /usr            ufs     rw              2 
2
      /dev/da0s1d             /var            ufs     rw              2 
2
      /dev/acd0               /cdrom          cd9660  ro,noauto       0 
0

   /boot/loader.conf:
      # Makes Apache Work - 11/30/07 - GS
      accf_http_load="YES"

   Thanks for your interest.

   - Gavin
