I'm the author of the pf howto. Sorry for any confusion the out-of-dateness of my howto may have caused. I have been unable to update the document for quite some time now, so I've decided to just drop the thing. PF is quite complex enough without my howto confusing people more. This is to let you all know that I've removed the howto from the above mentioned address and replaced it with a page referring people to the OpenBSD FAQ. Because the domain the howto is being hosted on is going away soonish I'd like to ask anyone linking to it to link to the OpenBSD PF FAQ instead. I'd also like to ask any mirrors to stop mirroring it (and thanks for doing so by the way). If people are interested in the LaTeX sources, send me a private message. Regards, Wouter Coene
