>Description:
I am trying to set the "table" PF limit using the pf.conf file.

When I add the following line:

set limit {states 150000, tables 10000, table-entries 200000}

I get the following error:

pfctl: Bad pool name.
pf.conf: 2 : unable to set limit table 10000
pfctl: Syntax error in config file: pf rule not loaded.

You get the same error for any value you try to set for 'tables'

This kernel as been recompile to include Pf and Carp.




 
>How-To-Repeat:
Just create a file called /etc/pf.conf and put the following line in it.

set limit {states 150000, tables 10000, table-entries 200000}

Run the command: pfctl -f /etc/pf.conf

Do not known.
