Hi

When I add this option I get a Syntax error
I have added it like this
set limit table-entries 150000
and then i tried
set limit { states 10000, frags 5000, table-entries 150000 }

both times I get
pfctl: Bad pool name.
/etc/pf.conf:25: unable to set limit table-entries 150000
pfctl: Syntax error in config file: pf rules not loaded


I also tried lowering the number with no success
