problem on pf @ freebsd 7.0

[xSAPPYx]

Take a look in /etc/defaults/rc.conf  The bits for PF are already
there. All you should need is to set   pf_enable="YES"
A quick guess would be that that /etc/defaults/rc.conf is loaded after
/etc/rc.conf, and pf_enable is reset to NO, but that is just a guess.

Here is my pf section from /etc/defaults/rc.conf  that brings pf up on boot:

<snip>
pf_enable="YES"                 # Set to YES to enable packet filter (pf)
pf_rules="/etc/pf.conf"         # rules definition file for pf
pf_program="/sbin/pfctl"        # where the pfctl program lives
pf_flags=""                     # additional flags for pfctl
pflog_enable="YES"              # Set to YES to enable packet filter logging
pflog_logfile="/var/log/pflog"  # where pflogd should store the logfile
pflog_program="/sbin/pflogd"    # where the pflogd program lives
pflog_flags=""                  # additional flags for pflogd
<snip>
