How is this supposed to work?  The point of IPFILTER_DEFAULT_BLOCK is
protect your system from, for example, inapproprate packet handling
or routing over autoconfigured network interfaces (or interfaces
configured by the kernel as part of the boot process) *before* any
user code runs.

What, exactly, is supposed to turn this knob?
