>Description:
	In the errata page of FreeBSD 5.3 release its documented a pf bug:

	(31 Oct 2004) When the user/group rule clauses in pf(4) and ipfw(4)
	are used, the loader tunable debug.mpsafenet must be set to 0 (this
	is 1 by default). For example, the following rules are affected:

	the problem is that you can panic the machine even with mpsafenet
	disabled when you're using the user clause.


>How-To-Repeat:
	
>Fix:
	Put in the errata page something like "Using the user/group clauses
	in pf can panic the system, so don't use it."
