http://www.netfilter.org/projects/iptables/files/changes-iptables-1.3.5.txt states that in 1.3.4 the state and conntrack modules for ipv6 were enabled. http://archives.free.net.ph/message/20060118.061509.2b74ef18.en.html seems to suggest that the kernel now has it enabled. Is there any reason why Fedora Rawhide still does not have iptables conntracking and state matching for ipv6? Trever Adams On Tue, 2005-08-23 at 22:17 -0600, Trever L.
