One thing that I do notice is that this script uses a "comment" line in the subnet definition to describe the subnet that it finds. However, I have
tried adding a comment line to a working subnet and the server reports that as an error. Is the comment line something that went away after version 3
came out? Or am I just doing it improperly?
I added:
comment Subnet-comment;
between the subnet line and the pool line.
