I am attempting to write a packet filter using the bpf device
in freebsd.  However,  I am getting device not configured errors.
In the man pages for tcpdump a program called pfconfig is mentioned
but I have been unable to locate it.  Can anyone point me in the
direction as to how to configure this device so that my program,
along with tcpdump will work.

Thank you,

Jeff Thompson
