I'd prefer to have PF_DEFAULT_BLOCK analogous to IPFILTER_DEFAULT_BLOCK
instead of some magic script closing the hole between driver init and
configuration.  Always wondered how the OpenBSD -securety minded- people
have come up with a packet filter that's open by default.

Or am I missing the point here?
