That's pretty basic stuff. What I want to do is create a list of
macros. The pf faq says:
"
Macros can be defined recursively. Since macros are not expanded within
quotes the following syntax must be used:
host1 = "192.168.1.1"
host2 = "192.168.1.2"
all_hosts = "{" $host1 $host2 "}"
"
(http://www.openbsd.org/faq/pf/macros.html)
That works. But try this:
host1 = "192"
host2 = "192.168.1.2"
all_hosts = "{" $host1 $host2 "}"
You'll get:
/etc/pf.conf:linenum: syntax error
pfctl: Syntax error in config file: pf rules not loaded
Now try this:
host1 = "192.1"
host2 = "192.168.1.2"
all_hosts = "{" $host1 $host2 "}"
That'll work too. Can't use macros for port numbers if dots are required.
Thanks,
Jose.

The pf.conf man page sez:

For example,
ext_if = "kue0"
all_ifs = "{" $ext_if lo0 "}"
However, that following fails with a syntax error on 4.3. On 4.2
something like this worked:
foo = 123
bar = 456
fubar_ports = "{ $foo $bar }"
However, that does not work on 4.3 either.
Thanks,

the book is alway right
Macro names must start with a letter and may contain letters, digits, and
underscores. Macro names cannot be reserved words such as pass, out, or
queue.
ext_if = "fxp0"
block in on $ext_if from any to any
This creates a macro named ext_if. When a macro is referred to after it's
been created, its name is preceded with a $ character.
Macros can also expand to lists, such as:
friends = "{ 192.168.1.1, 10.0.2.5, 192.168.43.53 }"
good luck
