Hi,
(After asking the same question on freebsd-questions@ I was encouraged
to ask here.)
When playing around with my pf.conf ruleset I came across the following
oddity:
If I define a macro in the following way:
> foo = "10.0.0.1"
> bar = "10.0.1.1"
> baz = "{" $foo $bar "}"
I can later use the macro $baz inside a filter rule.
However, if I store subnets in my macros it does not work. This can
easily be verify by having a file containing only the following three
lines and using `pfctl -nvf file`:
> foo = "10.0.0.0/24"
> bar = "10.0.1.0/24"
> baz = "{" $foo $bar "}"
I get:
> /tmp/test:3: syntax error
According to the section "macros" in pf.conf(5) the macro definition
looks legit. Could this be a bug in FreeBSD? Just wanted to ask the list
if I am missing something. I tested it on 13.1-RELEASE and CURRENT, I
always get a syntax error.
Best regards,
Stefan Haller
