Description

Interface descriptions are used to generate system aliases placed in /tmp/rules.debug. Interface descriptions are checked against the reserved aliases list leading to firewall rules failing to be generated.

Example:
user = "{ lagg0.66 }"

        <opt9>
            <descr><![CDATA[user]]></descr>
            <if>lagg0.66</if>
            <enable></enable>
            <ipaddr>10.60.6.1</ipaddr>
            <subnet>24</subnet>
            <spoofmac></spoofmac>
        </opt9>

There were error(s) loading the rules: /tmp/rules.debug:19: syntax error - The line in question reads [19]: user = "{ lagg0.66 }"
