'flags S/SA keep state' is the default now for tcp filter rules -- that was new in 7.0 reflecting the upstream changes made between the 4.0 and 4.1
releases of OpenBSD.  If you want a stateless rule, append 'no state'.

Thanks! I was actually looking around in the pf.conf manpage but failed to find it yesterday, but looking closer today I now saw it. Applied the no state (and quick) to the rule, and now no state is created. And the problem I had in the first place seems to have been resolved too now, even though it didn't look like a state problem.. (started to deny new connections much earlier than the states was full, altough maybee i wasnt looking for updates fast enough or something).

Anyways, thanks to all helping me out, and of course thanks to everybody involved in FreeBSD/pf and all for great products! Cannot be said enough times ;)_______________________________________________
