Bug ID: 194935
Summary: pfctl(8) remove No ALTQ warning message
Product: Base System
Version: 10.0-RELEASE
Hardware: Any
OS: Any
Status: Needs Triage
Severity: Affects Many People
Priority: Normal
Component: bin
Assignee: freebsd-bugs@FreeBSD.org
Reporter: lyn...@orthanc.ca
Generic kernels have no ALTQ support. pfctl barks:
No ALTQ support in kernel
ALTQ related functions disabled
every time it is run when the kernel doesn't have ALTQ support.
This is useless noise. The default kernels are not compiled with ALTQ, and the
majority of pf users don't use queues anyway. pfctl already fails with an
appropriate diagnostic when faced with an altq-related directive in the absence
of ALTQ support, so why not move this diagnostic into that specific error
scenario?
The current behavior just annoys: (a) those who don't care, (b) those who don't
know about ALTQ, and (c) those who have to explain to (b) that their firewall
has not suddenly been breached by hordes of hackers.
Can we please move this diagnostic out of the default code path and into a more
appropriate location?
