Eddie - what version of nftables does Slackware come with? The output of
`nft -v` should be helpful.

There is a report from stackexchange that nftables at 0.7 gives this error,
but at 0.8.1 or better it's OK. I was not easily able to verify that from
the source code, but it would be where I'd start to look. There was

The nftables 0.8.1 release notes (from 2018) are here:
https://lwn.net/Articles/744480/ and it points to new syntax in this
release.

good luck!

Ed
