I posted this yesterday to the netfilter list, but I'm not sure that was the right list for this issue. I seem to have [re]discovered a bug very similar to if not the same as http://osdir.com/ml/linux.network.bridge.ebtables.devel/2003-06/msg00002.html According to the mailing list archive, that bug was fixed in 2003...but either it wasn't, or it's been reintroduced. I'm using ebtables-v2.0.9-1.tar.gz with CentOS 5.3 2.6.18-164.el5xen #1 SMP Thu Sep 3 04:03:03 EDT 2009 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux Using ebtables, I've setup a number of user-defined chains. In the INPUT and FORWARD chains, I have rules to jump to these user-defined chains. I've noticed that any change (adding or deleting a rule) to any chain (at least the INPUT, FORWARD, or any other user-defined one) causes the counters for the last user-defined chain to be reset to 0's. Creating a new user-defined chain does not seem to affect counters. Deleting that new user-defined chain does reset the counters in the last remaining user-defined chain. I just verified the same behavior on a RHEL 5.4 system running 2.6.18-164.2.1.el5 #1 SMP Mon Sep 21 04:37:42 EDT 2009 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux with Name : ebtables Relocations: (not relocatable) Version : 2.0.8.2 Vendor: Dag Apt Repository, http://dag.wieers.com/apt/ Release : 1.el5.rf Build Date: Fri 14 Mar 2008 12:17:48 AM EDT Install Date: Sat 31 Oct 2009 03:09:00 PM EDT Build Host: lisse.leuven.wieers.com Group : System Environment/Base Source RPM: ebtables-2.0.8.2-1.el5.rf.src.rpm Size : 558998 License: GPL Signature : DSA/SHA1, Sat 15 Mar 2008 12:52:06 AM EDT, Key ID a20e52146b8d79e6 Packager : Dag Wieers <dag@xxxxxxxxxx> URL : http://ebtables.sourceforge.net/ Code from the patch/fix posted http://osdir.com/ml/linux.network.bridge.ebtables.devel/2003-06/msg00004.html does not appear to be in the current (2.0.9) ebtables. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Jon Lewis | I route Senior Network Engineer | therefore you are Atlantic Net | _________ http://www.lewis.org/~jlewis/pgp for PGP public key_________ _______________________________________________ Bridge mailing list Bridge@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.linux-foundation.org/mailman/listinfo/bridge
