Anybody had this problem ?
[I don't have this problem since my
uptime is never that long..]
Have a nice day,

Hi all--
I was wondering if anyone has seen similar problems with IPTables/Netfilter.
I am running a firewall which consists of a small system (AMD K5 @133MHz
w/32 MB Ram). It has 2 3c509 ethernet cards, is running FreeS/wan, and
IPTables. It also has all QoS options enabled. The kernel is compiled
without support for LKM so all of these are statically linked. I am
running the Linux Kernel 2.4.18.
If the system has been up for a month or so and I try to reapply the
firewall rules, something odd happens. Instead of getting the normal
IPTables entries:
Feb 2 18:29:47 fwhost -- MARK --
Rebooting solves the problem. As the kernel is entirely statically
linked, I can't remove and reinstall the IPTables module into the
kernel. Note that restarting Syslog does not solve the problem, and
syslog does log everything else correctly. so the problem appears to be
with the kernel at this point.
Any ideas what causes this? Or should I file a bug with the Linux
Kernel email list?
Best Wishes,
Chris Travers
