Re: Current problem reports (Newbie Question)

I have no idea what I'm supposed to do when I get this
email. Am I supposed to stop using pf until it gets patched
or what?

If you don't know what to do with it, ignore it.  

No, no need to stop using it, those are just open bugs on
pf. The pf
bugs get emailed automatically to the pf list periodically,
the
networking bugs to the net list, etc. I believe it's
intended as a
reminder of open issues for the developers.

*replacing hats with bugmeister one*

Correct; we send out periodic reminders to interested
parties / groups who
know most of the "product / area of attention" to
hopefully resolve open
items. For PF problems the best assignee group is freebsd-pf
(PF
mailinglist) because all the guru's and people interested in
PF are
there...

So as Chris said; no need to stop using PF on FreeBSD at
all, but if you
are interested or able to fix certain problems.. please do
not hesitate to
share that with the rest of the PF group 

Cheers,
Remko
