Important Information About the rules File

The rules file must have:

• At least one rule.

• The file name, rules.

• Rules that have at least a rule keyword, a rule value, and a corresponding profile. Rules must also have a minus sign (-) in the begin and finish fields if there is no entry.

The rules file allows:

• A comment after the pound sign (#) anywhere on a line. If a line begins with a #, the entire line is a comment line. If a # is specified in the middle of a line, everything after the # is considered a comment.

• Blank lines.

• Rules to span multiple lines. You can let a rule wrap to a new line, or you can continue a rule on a new line by using a backslash (\) before the carriage return.
