Ah. I was not aware that you didn't have iptable_nat loaded before the command. Just issuing the '-L' command with no nat loaded does not allocate anything big inside the kernel. > The question is, why do we init it, if we don't use it (on a rule > point of view)? This init step should occur only if we insert a rule > using nat. no. This is again something I regard as feature, not as bug. dont load the module if you don't use it. It's the same behaviour like conntrack. > kr, > -jmhe- -- Live long and prosper - Harald Welte / [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.gnumonks.org/ ============================================================================ GCS/E/IT d- s-: a-- C+++ UL++++$ P+++ L++++$ E--- W- N++ o?
