That's what I figured out in the end, by commenting out any lines that 
looked remotely related. 

I guess my point is that the error message was useless in the face of a 
300 line rule set. Any line that the parser objects to it should point 
out with (at least) the line number.

In the end, I gave up on npf when I ran into an

Enabling NPF.
npfctl: npfctl_config_send: Invalid argument

which I was not able to debug.

Cheerio,
Hauke
