This is in fact the same case as with the above, just with a pseudo-device
instead of a physical device.

BTW your statement that "Using ktrace(1)  can help you find what's going
on inside a command, and to determine you what's being accessed that may
cause the error message." is misleading. There is no need to use ktrace in
the case mentioned. pfctl tells you what device node did it attempt to
use. (/dev/pf)
