Updating PF

Hello,

I'm using PF from a 6.1 FreeBSD kernel (Just added
pf_enable="YES" in 
rc.conf) and also using Firewall Builder.
How do I know what version is running?
What are the options to update PF? Is there a how-to?

Thanks in Advance, Ben.

P.S.: I'm not good with compiling source code and stuff  :(

WAIT FOR 7.0-RELEASE AND USE THAT.
IT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT YOU CAN JUST UPGRADE OUT OF THE
SYSTEM

AND WHY WOULD YOU LIKE TO UPDATE IT?

Updating why exactly ?

> How do I know what version is running?

You are running the version of PF which ships as standard
with FreeBSD 6.1.
Which IIRC is the same as shipped with OpenBSD 3.6.

Yes, update your kernel to whatever the last STABLE release
of 6.1 is.

Time to learn, it's not hard and the handbook is your
friend.

Would you happen to know when they will have a 7.0 RC out?
