FQDN in alias errors
-
i have a wierd problem, on one of my system when i use a FDQN in alias i dont see any errors and on another system as soon as i type out a FQDN and save i start getting errors, can some1 tell me if adding FQDN in alias is valid?
FQDN as facebook.com and type as host
-
Using an FQDN in aliases is fine, either host or network type.
What is the error you receive?
-
actually i figured out the issue, if the alias is named as block then the below error is generated
There were error(s) loading the rules: /tmp/rules.debug:24: syntax error - The line in question reads [24]: table persist... php: : The command '/sbin/pfctl -nf /tmp/rules.test.packages' returned exit code '1', the output was '/tmp/rules.test.packages:17: syntax error'once u rename it to somethign else it resolves so probably a check would be required so ppl dont use block as a alias name
-
I just pushed a fix for that so it will refuse an alias called "block".
