With IPF complied into my kernel (today's sources), I get the following

Enabling ipfilter.

ioctl(SIOCIPFL6): Invalid argument
I'm guessing the SIOCIPFL6 error is because I don't have IPv6 complied 
in.  Why the four already initialized messages though?
To answer my own question, the already initialized messages are a 
problem with /etc/rc.d/ipfilter.   I'm going to look at the latest 
version of the file in FreeBSD and see how it works, it looks like they 
fixed the problem.
