in 4.2/i386, number-only macros in ipsec.conf worked fine/parsed OK, syntax-wise:
--- # cat test.conf cat = "dog" cow = $cat cat = "1234abc" cow = $cat cat = "1234" cow = $cat # uname -msr; ipsecctl -nvvf ./test.conf OpenBSD 4.2 i386 cat = "dog" cow = "dog" cat = "1234abc" cow = "1234abc" cat = "1234" cow = "1234" warning: macro 'cow' not used # --- in 4.7 -current/amd64, it fails: --- # uname -msr; ipsecctl -nvvvvf test.conf OpenBSD 4.7 amd64 cat = "dog" cow = "dog" cat = "1234abc" cow = "1234abc" cat = "1234" test.conf: 6: syntax error warning: macro 'cow' not used ipsecctl: Syntax error in config file: ipsec rules not loaded ---- since i don't know for sure if this is a bug, i wanted to ask here, maybe this is intentional. -- jared
