The most current version of OpenBSD is 5.1. PF version 5.0 changed the syntax of the NAT statement making PF no longer backwards compatible which breaks some Freebsd standard, so updated versions of OpenBSD PF will no longer be mass ported to FreeBSD. Any bug fix code to OpenBSD PF will have to be incorporated by hand into FreeBSD's version of PF from this point on. The following will shine some more light on the subject. http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=167057 http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-pf/2012-September/006740.htmlReceived on Sat Sep 22 2012 - 10:57:53 UTC
