I don't believe it's ever been possible to run pfctl as non-root, so I don't think you can call it "broken."

Is the ability to run pfctl (via sudo) as a non-root user still broken? I've tested this on a 3.6 -release system, and /dev/pf is still unavailable for non-root users.

It certainly looks like being a member of wheel is a distinct advantage, at least.
What kinds of operations did you have in mind?
# su - hatchet $ pfctl -vsr pfctl: /dev/pf: Permission denied $ whoami hatchet $ groups hatchet wheel
Would eg a sensible authpf setup help achieve what you want to do?
It has nothing to do with my question.
