>Description:
The ACCEPT_FILTER_DATA and ACCEPT_FILTER_HTTP are not enabled in the GENERIC kernel.  As a result there are all sorts of "help" pages instructing users to run kldload and add accf_http_load=YES and accf_data_load=YES to /boot/loader.conf.  If this is not done a warning message is printed on each time httpd is loaded.

If the FreeBSD kernel is going to have these parameters, and ACCEPT_FILTER_DNS, they should be enabled by default.  Even suggestions that such tuning needs to be done just to install a webserver is enough to turn novices off of FreeBSD, especially if they're used to OSs which have no such requirement.
