I tried with iptables-1.2.9-rc1. Compiled against 2.4.22-18mdk, it doesn't work in 2.6.0-test8, while when it is compiled against vanilla 2.4.22, 2.4.23-pre1 or 2.4.23-pre7, SNAT/POSTROUTING works ok for me. The Mandrake kernel is based on 2.4.23-pre1, so something is wrong in the mandrake kernel then. To be clear, I didn't test more rules, and I didn't test it on one of the vanilla 2.4 kernels, but I blindly assume the behaviour is the same. If you're upgrading firestarter for mdk 10.0, then the priority should be on fixing this kernel bug. But it shouldn't hurt to use the virtual provides as a requires, it's probably a good thing. -- Marcel Pol
