    I think this would only make sense if authpf could stand multiple 
    connections from same host...
    Unfortunately, it is not possible:     http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL

    So, I still wonder why such a feature exists...

          Oh for god's sake. 
  
          It matters when you play with tagging. You can tag
  in the authpf rule based on $user_id and then have rules
  which reference the tagged packet. 
  
          I.e. packets tagged with "beck" get different treatment
  from everyone else.

          pass out quick on $ext_if tagged ckuethe
          pass out on $ext_if proto tcp port = {80,443,22}

          And yes it's useful, in some situations. if you can't think
  of it, probably not yours.
