It's obviously not my choice, I'm just much more comfortable with using port numbers instead of protocol names. netbios-dgm means little to me but 138 does, and correlates with what I see displayed should I follow the instructions in the pf manual (http://www.openbsd.org/faq/pf/logging.html#logfile): To view the log file: # tcpdump -n -e -ttt -r /var/log/pflog Though for consistency with other commands that have an option to toggle between symbols and numbers (e.g., -n for netstat or tcpdump) it may be helpful as well. That's the main reason why I originally though I was overlooking a simple option flag, I couldn't believe this ability wasn't already present. ;) But as I mentioned, it's not my decision. I'll just hack the source code to get what I need.
