Description Volker Stolz 2001-12-22 09:50:01 UTC 
There is no mechanism in /etc/rc.network6 for automatically loading IPv6 ipf rules like there is for IPv4
in /etc/rc.network. This means adding your own ipf rules for IPv6 cannot be done as smoothly as for IPv4.

Fix: 

Replicate the ipf-setup from /etc/rc.network, and change some variable names, e.g.
ipfilter_enable -> ipfilter6_enable etc. Be careful about checking whether ipmon or ipnat are
already running.
How-To-Repeat: Enable IPF, default to deny: You don't have any clean way of configuring rules for ipf -6 in /etc/rc.conf.
