it's good that you check and restore, but if the box restarts between saving the edited file and restoring the original, you only have the default dns/ssh/ping ruleset loaded from /etc/rc. consider editing a copy of the file, pfctl -nf to check it, then move into place (the ln/mv method as used for installing kernels is good since it keeps a valid, complete file available)...
