iptables 1.2.9 and kernel 2.6.0 -- interesting problem

[Alistair Tonner <>]

	One thing I've noted whilst playing with moving to 2.6.0 with iptables 1.2.9 --
	for some reason 
	iptables -A POSTROUTING -t nat -o ppp0 -j SNAT --to-source xx.yy.zz.qq 
	(my outside ip address) just plain doesn't work.  -- in my iptables-restore startup function
	it is the only rule that fails. (if I comment the SNAT line out of my source file it works)

	the above command produces 
	bad option xx.yy.zz.qq
	if I change --to-source to -to-source , i get you must specify --to-source

	it rather looks like iptables command is trying to parse what to do with --to-source rather than passing it
	to libipt_SNAT.so .... 
	Am I just in need of some patching here ... or do I need to rebuilt userspace stuff with the new kernel?

	I have yet to get pom-ng to work on my 2.6.0 kernel (although I am working my way through the directory
	finding things that DO patch successfully -- like mport)
