System: NetBSD speedy.whooppee.com 11.99.4 NetBSD 11.99.4 (SPEEDY 2025-11-22 04:05:42 UTC) #0: Sat Nov 22 05:13:36 UTC 2025 paul@speedy.whooppee.com:/build/netbsd-local/obj/amd64/sys/arch/amd64/compile/SPEEDY amd64
Architecture: x86_64

>Description:
The man page shows the syntax for the location field as

	[<address>|<interface>][/<mask>][:<port>]

Yet it actually accepts a port/service name _without_leading_colon, as
shown in the example at /usr/share/examples/blocklist/blocklistd.conf

        ...
        [local]
        ssh             stream  *       *       *   3   6h
        ftp             stream  *       *       *   3   6h
        domain          *       *       named   *   3   12
        ...
