Has anyone else had serious problems with 2.4.23 death when using ipchains and masquerading ? I've had two boxes die with a panic as soon as they tried to do any form of masq, going back to .22 results in happiness. One box is essentially a Slackware 8.1 base, and the other 9.0. Both have similar ipchains rules. The 8.1 box is my test box and I upgraded to .23 on it and everything was fine, it shifted over 4G of non-masq data during the day and showed no problems. I then upgraded the 9.0 box to .23, and it died within seconds of networking going with a panic. Whilst I investigated what was going on I shited the routing so the 8.1 box did masq for the internal network. Not immediately, but within minutes that box too paniced. Rebooting the 8.1 box resulted in panic pretty much in the same way as the 9.0 box. I put both back to .22 and sanity was restored. I notes lots of changes in the .23 patch to the masq code and network code in general. Anyone else seen these problems ? [though I presume most of you are using iptables and this *could* be ipchains specific]
