Oke, problem solved. But, why doesn't this flag get set implicitly when
using a command with ssh?

Hi

Today I used sudo as command to ssh and it echoed my sudo password.

$ ssh soekris sudo pfctl -s state

I don't see anything about this in the manpage so I think this not
expected behaviour. Normally I ssh from an Ubuntu box to the firewall,
but to be sure, I ssh-ed to localhost on the openbsd box and I got the
same result. What's wrong?

Add -t to your ssh command:
     -t      Force pseudo-tty allocation.  This can be used to execute arbi-
             trary screen-based programs on a remote machine, which can be
             very useful, e.g. when implementing menu services.  Multiple -t
             options force tty allocation, even if ssh has no local tty.
