Re: Error: unable to split netmask from target expression

[Daniel Miller <bonsaiviking () gmail com>]

Timothy,

Thanks for the bug report. The  most common reasons for this error are:

* a trailing slash after the IP address: 192.0.2.0/
* a negative or non-numeric netmask: 192.0.2.0/-24 or 192.0.2.0/blah

If you still have a problem, we will need a little more information to
reproduce the bug. I understand your need to keep the IP address private,
but could you just replace the digits with "1"?
