Second glance - with the virtually empty config, I added a comment and "--check-config" reported "success".
I have now tried adding comments all over the place, unfolding lines etc - doing a "--check-config" reports no problems, a "--reload" works too and xmllint is happy. I even tried adding this: <rule family="ipv4"> <source address="192.168.0.0/16"/> <port port="20" protocol="tcp"/> <accept/> </rule> <!-- comment --> The above wasn't in my converted config, but it also caused no problems or complaints when I added it. I also tried adding blanks where blanks aren't always expected - again, no problems or complaints. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (16.9°C) Member, openSUSE Heroes (2016 - present) We're hiring - https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Heroes
