Hi gents,
I've sorted out the problems with my cross compilation. I hadn't noticed that the linker was using ar instead of arm-linux-ar. So, no more truncations and iptables with my semi-trivial little script appears hunky-dory. (Just tested on ping limits so far).
Next question is whether you gurus can recommend any good test app that I can use for checking my rules and seeing whether there any holes?
Best regards Steve
