On Debian GNU/kFreeBSD for loading arbitrary modules there's /etc/modules IIRC. > ***And no, pf is NOT compiled into kernel either, for the command `pfctl` > doesn't work until I `kldload pf`. > > So do I have to write an initscript including the command to load the needed > module and put it into init directory? > Or is there any other way? I wonder if this should be handled better (e.g. pfctl could kldload() what it needs). Please consider filing a bug report [1] to freebsd-utils package.
