Hi, I eventually found out a bug-fixed version of iptables for RHEL3. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=111999 However, the latest version of iptables for the legacy RH9 is still 1.2.8-8.90.1. I am running my own rc script on the RH9 firewall as a workaround, the bug-fix to RH9 is still in the state of demand. Any idea ?
