ipf stopped working on 5.3

[John Fitzgerald]

It doesn't work on boot or after ipf -D; ipf -E -f /etc/ipf.rules. My
rc.conf specifies the rules file so it's the same thing and I don't have any
other scripts that could be interfering with it (that I know of).

The only thing they installed that might have affected it (?) is "cronolog".
I've never used it before and it just appears to be a log parser. Other than
that, it's just a web box so I have openssl, mod_ssl, mod_perl, mason, php,
mysql, and apache installed with nothing else to speak of. I don't like a
lot of miscellany on my servers so it's hard to say that it might be a
conflict with something that was put on there.
