Hi developers I'm not on the list, but I thought this is too specific for the users list.
I'm configuring a firewall on a sun ultra 5 workstation with Suse 7.3 and a fresh 2.4.19pre1 kernel and fresh iptables 1.2.5 compiled against that kernel's source. It looks like there are some problems with this setup and I was wondering if the kernel modules are actually 64-bit enabled? When listing the iptables using "iptables -L -x -v -n", I see a lot of Very Large Numbers (2^32+n???) in the standard chains for packet stats. The reason I have doubts about the quality of the modules on 64 bit sparc is that the iptables command gives an invalid argument error when using the -m limit option. The ipt_limit module is in memory (according to lsmod). Has anyone tried these things on linux on a 64bit sparc (or other 64bit) architecture? Are these problems known? I'd like to know if this is a bug or a configuration problem, because if iptables/netfilter are not stable on this platform it doesn't make sense to trust it with firewall duties... TIA Simon PS, please CC me when replying to the list.
