Hi, I found a bug in libipt_set.h. When iptables communicate with ipset, socket is created but not closed. I wanted to apply more then 700 iptables rule in one shot and all are having -m set option. I did iptables-restore and found error "Can't open socket to ipset." After closing socket I am able to do iptables-restore. patch: --- iptables-1.4.2/extensions/libipt_set.h 2010-05-14 18:32:50.000000000 +0530 +++ iptables-1.4.2/extensions/libipt_set.h 2010-05-14 18:44:49.000000000 +0530 @@ -41,13 +41,14 @@ static int get_set_getsockopt(void *data, socklen_t * size) { - int sockfd = -1; + int sockfd = -1, res = -1; sockfd = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_RAW, IPPROTO_RAW); if (sockfd < 0) exit_error(OTHER_PROBLEM, "Can't open socket to ipset.\n"); /* Send! */ - return getsockopt(sockfd, SOL_IP, SO_IP_SET, data, size); + res = getsockopt(sockfd, SOL_IP, SO_IP_SET, data, size); + return res; } Regards, Krunal -- 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
