I assume so?


Yes, pf is a port in FreeBSD 5.*. But DragonFly has it it base. Look 
out for

pfctl(5)
pf.conf(8)
pf.os(8)
pflogd(8)
By now, it's not a bad idea to run mergemaster (after a make 
build-/installworld) for getting the new groups introduced with pf 
into your /etc/group. For anything else, see /usr/src/UPDATE.

I did a `man -k pf` before you mentioned those and I didn't see anything 
like pfctl and such. I'm not at home to check now (and I forgot to open 
SSH on the firewall, oops) but thanks. I know where to look now. I 
believe that maybe it isn't included in the ISO snapshot I have, as I 
remember running in to the pf group mergemaster problem when I was 
updating my laptop, installed from the same CD.
