I want to be able to include some parts of my pf.conf from other set of files.

For example I will include "set timeout" vs like statements in another file.

Using anchors and "load anchor from file" statements will not help because anchor can not hold such GLOBAL OPTIONS.

May be you should write your own config generator? – SaveTheRbtz May 14 '11 at 0:02

One way to do this is to use m4 as a preprocessor that produces your final pf.conf. Or you can even break your pf.conf into parts and then have a simplistic "preprocessor" cat those parts > /etc/pf.conf.

As per the pf.conf man page:

"Comments can be put anywhere in the file using a hash mark (`#'), and extend to the end of the current line. Additional configuration files can be included with the include keyword, for example:

       include "/etc/pf/sub.filter.conf""

I could be mistaken, but the FreeBSD manual page for pf.conf does not seem to cover the include keyword. – adamo Jul 11 '11 at 9:36
