Where did you get > XT_EXTENSION_MAXNAMELEN from? > Exactly. ebt_entry_match->u.name uses EBT_FUNCTION_MAXNAMELEN but this is from ebt_entry_match->u.match->name which is type struct xt_match. But it looks like we're exporting struct ebt_match which also uses EBT_FUNCTION_MAXNAMELEN. So maybe the fix is to copy ->u.name instead of ->u.match->name. regards, dan carpenter -- 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
