ipf.conf has a different format than ipnat.conf. If you have no need for
filters, you should just remove ipf.conf. The rc script should then invoke
ipfilter with an empty list. At some future time, you could run
"mkfilters" in /usr/share/examples/ipf; this produces an ipf.conf,
tailored to your present setup, that filters out runt packets and
circulary routed packets.

Stupid question: you do have ipnat=YES in rc.conf?????
