Hi Jeff, As far as I know there is not a command line option for nft to parse the syntax to check that it is correct and then NOT apply the ruleset. I know pf (Mac OS X and OpenBSD), has this and it's quite handy. The wiki does have documentation for how to debug the rules (testing what rule fires on what packet, etc.), at [1] but doesn't mention syntax checking. If you are accidentally locking yourself out you could create a cron job that calls "nft rule flush ruleset" to drop the firewall and schedule it to run every few minutes or so. - J Sources: [1] wiki.nftables.org/wiki-nftables/index.php/Ruleset_debug/tracing -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netfilter" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
