The script works fine on his box, x86. But on my box, sparc, I seem to have a limitation of 854 rules before I start to get errors and am unable to add anymore rules.
Is there a maximum number of rules per chain? or overall?
Here is the information on my Sparc box.
null:~# iptables -t filter -I INPUT 1 -s 66.28.224.0/19 -p all -j blockme iptables: Memory allocation problem
null:~# iptables -t filter -I INPUT 1 -s 1.2.3.4/19 -p all -j blockme iptables: Memory allocation problem null:~# uname -a Linux null 2.4.21 #1 Thu Aug 7 20:30:12 EDT 2003 sparc64 GNU/Linux null:~#
null:~# iptables -L blockme Chain blockme(854 references) target prot opt source destination DROP all -- anywhere anywhere
Here is the info about my buddy's. x86 box
root@darkside:/etc/rc.d# uname -a; iptables -L blockme; iptables --version
Linux darkside 2.5.50-ac1 #3 SMP Sun Feb 9 10:21:53 PST 2003 i686 unknown

Any help is greatly appreciated. -r0b
