------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-10-23 14:05 ------- hm this seems to explain it: http://netfilter.org/documentation/FAQ/netfilter-faq.html#toc3.20 3.20 'iptables: Invalid argument' after kernel update (nat table) You have just upgraded your kernel and suddenly some of the commands (especially in the 'nat' table), and you experience something like: # iptables -A POSTROUTING -t nat -o ppp0 -j MASQUERADE iptables: Invalid argument This happens when the structure size between kernel and userspace changes. You will need to recompile the iptables userspace program using the include files of your new kernel. This only happens if you (or the vendor of your kernel) has applied some patches either only to the old or only to the new kernel. It is not supposed to happen between vanilla kernel.org kernels. If it does, please inform the netfilter-devel mailinglist. ------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-11-15 17:32 ------- I can get it to work with a vanilla kernel 2.4.22-10, but the smp, enterprise, and other such kernels do NOT work, nor have I been able to get any of the current kernels (vanilla or not) to work. I'm currently running my dual-proc box with a vanilla 2.4.22-10 kernel and limited RAM just so I can have iptables working. -- Configure bugmail: http://qa.mandrakesoft.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. ------- Reminder: ------- assigned_to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] status: NEW creation_date: description: Rules like /sbin/iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s 192.168.1.2 -o ppp0 -d 0/0 -j MASQUERADE in MDK from 9.1-9.2rc (development) - iptables 1.2.7a / 1.2.8a does not work - displaying : iptables invalid argumnet.
