The below error message sequence isn't as clear as it could be:
> mike:/home/mike$ doas pfctl -f /etc/pf.
> pfctl: /etc/pf.: No such file or directory
> pfctl: cannot open the main config file!: No such file or directory
> pfctl: Syntax error in config file: pf rules not loaded
There are possible improvements other than the one below, but because
it's an ergonomic issue I figured I'd point it out and leave it to the
PF people.
Thanks,
Mike
