This only changes the 'status' command, right? What's the use case here? Created attachment 168602 [details]
patch pf rc script
The use case is not having `service pf status` throw error lines like this one:
xmj@mx12:~/repos/src-svnssh$ pfctl -s info
pfctl: /dev/pf: No such file or directory
and actually display that pf isn't loaded.
A commit references this bug: Author: kp Date: Sun Mar 27 17:22:27 UTC 2016 New revision: 297315 URL: https://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/base/297315 Log: pf: Friendly error message for status if pf.ko is not loaded Check if pf.ko is loaded (i.e. /dev/pf exists) before trying to use it. This means that '/etc/rc.d/pf status' will no longer return 'pfctl: /dev/pf: No such file or directory' but 'pf.ko is not loaded'.
