Hi Patrick, Please apply the following patch. The option IP6T_OPTS_NSTRICT causes to ignore rules for options in HBH/DST header. I think this issue affects few users. Because fortunately (?) man page and 'ip6tables -m hbh --help' does not show --hbh-not-strict option, and 'ip6tables ... --hbh-not-strict' does not work due to incorrect has_arg value in userland libip6t_hbh.c ;) I will implement not-strict mode, so the patch leaves the definition of IP6T_OPTS_NSTRICT. The strict mode is too strict (the specified options have to be included in order in HBH/DST header) and would be useless in most senarios.
Since my knowledge of this quite limited - is this fix important enough so it should go in 2.6.27, or is queuing it for 2.6.28 OK too? -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netfilter-devel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
